"I don't believe in doing what I don't want to do in order to live the way I don't want to live" -Edward Abbey

I remember the days when I would unwrap my mothers satin artisan jewelry rolls she had purchased while stationed in the Philippines. My eyes would gravitate towards the gold ring with a dome of coral flowers protruding outwards. The next thing I knew it was on my little fingers while asking many questions about all of her special treasures. I am Lisa Holt, beaded jewelry designer .WeLcOmE!

While planting my first roots in aromatherapy, and clay as a potter, I found my deepest love through the connection to our Earth. I am a self-taught jewelry artisan or designer. I feel blessed to be apart of such a creative outlet as beaded jewelry design. I am passionate with my work and love it! My inspirations are through precious gemstone colors and shapes along with nature’s colors and shapes; which are one and the same. Each day I soak in the beauty which surrounds us, plus textures from all that is natural, and pour these inspirations through jewelry design. I create gemstone jewelry with the finest hand selected semi-precious , precious stones, sterling silver, 14k gold filled, and solid gold. I love traveling while picking out unique baubles to be adorned by you or your loved ones through my handcrafted beaded jewelry pieces. My goal with The Beaded Garden is to not only create designer beaded jewelry that gives women of all ages that magical something, but to create an occupation that flows in my life as I explore what it means to be present and fully alive. Thank you and EnJoY!! ~Namaste~
