Tess Snyder began making unique beaded jewelry in 2001 to help fill the jewelry cases of a gift shop and holistic healing center she co-owned in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Her work earned immediate praise from customers, who especially liked her unusual choice of beads and stunning stone combinations. From these small beginnings, Tess' love of beautiful things, high sense of style and innate creativity quickly transformed from a bead and jewelry addiction into a growing handcrafted jewelry business.

     Today, Tess' work has evolved into more intricate wire work, including handmade chains, links, focal forms and closures. From the beginning, she has only created jewelry from natural materials out of respect for Mother Earth and the environment.
