I was making and selling jewelry long before I chose to move to the Raleigh/Durham area, so it’s either fate or serendipity that I ended up in such a thriving community of adornment artists. Listings are in alphabetical order and are not necessarily a ranking or endorsement of any kind, though many of them are people I know. For local craft/bead stores, events and clubs click here. For corrections, additions and updates, please contact me.
