She Beads– Sandy Rueve

Handmade doesn’t even go far enough to describe the work and craftsmanship that’s put into each and every bead in Sandy’s jewelry designs. Made up of hand rolled clay beads, her pieces are high in quality and exotic in style. Each colorful bracelet, necklace, earring, etc is part of either her couture, one-of-a-kind, or seasonal collections. As a philanthropic effort, Sandy creates specialized lines for her Charity Bead Collection.

Sandy’s inspiration for her designs spawned from her love of gardening. Many of her designs correlate with the colors and palettes of the seasons. After being certified in Radiology, a stay-at-home mother of two, and working as an x-ray technician for the Chicago Bulls, Sandy put her creative efforts towards She Beads beginning in 1993. Since then, Sandy has gone from basement production to 30 plus employees and a 4,000 square foot production studio. She Beads represents more than just jewelry. It’s an artisan craft that represents hard work and creativity.

She Beads can be bought online at www.sbstore.com or at stores across the US, which are listed on the website. Sandy also holds home parties and has a storefront location.
