About this Product
***Photos are samples of custom designs I have created in the past, and are not the design of the item you will receive. Purchasing this listing is a deposit to begin designing your personalized item. Once the item is complete, I will create a listing for you to pay the balance of your custom piece (deposit will be deducted from the final price of the design), and will include shipping costs (free shipping on this listing does not include free shipping on the completed piece). Once that listing is purchased, you can expect shipping information in 1-3 days.
*Please initiate a conversation by clicking "Ask A Question" under my shop name (located underneath the options selections) to discuss your personalization ideas. Please let me know if you would like continuous updates during creation! I will send a drawn proof for you to approve before I start physically creating your item.
*I currently do not work with Gold wire as more than an accent wire in a piece, but will happily create an item from Copper, Brass or Sterling Silver wire, and, as always, Polymer Clay!
**Allow 2-3 weeks for creation time, or up to 4-6 weeks for specially ordered materials.
*Deposit is non-refundable
**NOTE** Please keep in mind that Copper, Silver and Brass may cause reactions in some wearers. If you notice a reaction, please protect yourself with a product like SkinGuard. All metals will naturally patina over time and with extended wear, swimming and bathing will expedite this process. Individual care instructions will be given with each item upon completion.
The Greene Bead
Meet the Maker
Hello! My name is Leha, and I am the artist for The Greene Bead. I specialize in wire wrapped and Polymer Clay jewelry, and I also create miniature fairy garden Trinket Dishes and wire wrapped gemstone tree sculptures. I try to use as much naturally derived product as I can, including all genuine gemstones, mined locally here in Wisconsin, Illinois and from around the world. Some of my pieces even include upcycled items such as vintage beads, crystals and buttons!
My journey began back in 2010 as a way to create new jewelry for myself, a broke college student, by taking apart jewelry I already owned and piecing it back together to create new items. One of my roommates at the time saw what I was doing and asked me to create a few pieces for him, and that's how this all started!
After many years of practice and improvement (I'm still improving everyday!), I've come to the point in my journey where I can start giving back. I've created many pieces to be used in silent auctions to raise money for my high school, my hometown library, benefits for friends and family to help with medical bills, and even Parkinson's research and Veterans' Assistance programs.
Last, but certainly not least, it is my personal goal to make sure each and every item I create for you is completely unique and that you are 100% satisfied with your order. Please feel free to message me with any questions, comments or concerns! I wish you all the best in your endeavors to find that perfect gift for yourself or someone you love.
