It seems that I have always had a creative side. I suppose this is what led me to earn my degree in design and use my creative side as often as possible. After several years as an Interior Designer, I started my family and stopped working to be a stay at home mom. Three daughters later, I felt that creative urge again. There is only SO much scrapbooking and kid's crafts that one can do!
I purchased a bracelet in a store and after looking at it closely, I decided that I could make that bracelet....and for less money then I just spent on it! That became my initial goal...making affordable, unique, quality jewelry. The jewelry making process started out small, then became addictive! After numerous compliments on the pieces I would wear, a friend suggested I offer my pieces to the world, so I started an online store.
After a couple of years of building up a client base and perfecting my "skill", I decided to take my love of making BEADED LANYARDS to eBay. I am grateful to eBay and my customers for making this dream a success!
I am constantly learning new techniques and discovering different stones and beads to work with. Like any other artist, I am also constantly learning ways to "better" my products and make them truly unique.
My goals remain the same as in the beginning---creating affordable, unique, quality jewelry---but I've added a new goal that I find is necessary in ANY business, yet so hard TO find anymore...providing you, the customer, with excellent customer service. It is my goal to meet your needs as best as I can and treat each of you as if you were my only customer!
Thank you for taking the time to browse around Niki's Jewels. Stop back often as I add new lanyards all the time (almost daily!) and, occassionally, some beaded jewelry!
Now go on, find that piece that entices you and enjoy!
