The self taught bead jewellery designer of Beaded, Nicole Riches, designs original handmade beaded jewellery, lampshades and decor.
Nicole started out making peyote stitch serviette rings. She was later inspired to create the loom beaded lampshades using seed beads. Her father's experience as a goldsmith influenced her progression from beaded lampshades to beaded jewellery.
Her inspiration comes from her surroundings, magazines and will often come while in the process of beading.
The beaded products are created using seed beads, semi-precious stones, wood, freshwater pearls and shells.
