Hello,

My name is Tina and I'm excited to continue introducing "Treasures by Tina" to many of you. Over 13 years ago, I started beading and making jewelry to match my outfits.

I had taken a class at a local community college and started making jewelry as a hobby. I met some great friends and we're affectionately named the "Beading Divas." Over the years, we continue to bead weekly for hours.

I love making and wearing my own jewelry. It's fun to customize jewelry to match my clothes. I am often asked if I sell and until a few years ago, I had always replied no. I gave the majority of my hand crafted jewelry to my sister and daughters and enjoyed seeing them wear it. They, too, were often asked, "does she sell." After the encouragement from my family and friends, I decided to share my love of jewelry making with the world. With that said, I opened my Etsy Shop three years ago and I continue to introduce "Treasures by Tina." I make jewelry that can be worn every day!!!! I also have my "Tiana Nicole Collection" angel earrings, which is in memory of my niece, an angel gone to soon.

Beading has truly brought me so much joy and relaxation over the years. Every piece of jewelry is unique, hand-crafted and made with a passion for beading. I do not mass produce jewelry and, therefore, I can say that my jewelry is one-of-a-kind. The beauty of making jewelry is that it does not have to be perfect. I enjoy working with wire and different types of beads to create different color designs.

I hope you enjoy these jewelry treasures as much as I have --- in making them.

Warmest Regards,
Tina
