Hey there, and welcome to my website!
Here is a little about my life and how Your A Gem LLC started. Originally my beading began as a hobby sparked by my older sister. She asked me to make her some waist beads and anklets when I visited her in New York in May 2020. I have been beading ever since. Soon after, I had a lot of inquiries about making more waist beads and matching anklets. I continued, and since then, I have been learning, growing, creating, and building.
I knew then when I started that I would love to continue beading. It was therapeutic for me and fun for my children as well. I joined Etsy shortly after because I wanted to continue growing my ideas and business. I have since stopped using Etsy, I was with Etsy from 2020-2023. I also needed RAW critique from customers other than from family and friends. I love creating new things and customizing pieces as well. I considered myself to be friendly and sweet but very blunt and straightforward.
I hope to open a shop one day and sell many items, from jewelry to candles, crystals, and paintings. The list can go on and on, and I can speak about jewelry all day long.
More about me...
I am currently 29 years old. I was born and raised in New York. I have served our country and retired from the military in October 2022. So, creating is my new full-time job! I am married and have 3 children and 3 fur babies (2 Black Cats and 1 Orange). I have recently graduated with my Bachelors Degree in Accounting and want to start studying to take the CPA next and later complete my master’s Degree.
Please feel free to reach me if you have any questions and thank you again for choosing my shop!
