Joie de Vivre jewelry designer: Valorie Douglas

Greetings and welcome to my online gallery! I started putting together beaded pieces in high school, with my love of all things artistic. Now my designs are more sophisticated and the materials are much higher grade, but I still love creating wearable art. Beaded jewelry for me is a great melting pot; beautiful materials of all different shape, size, color and texture come together in a vision that's sprung from a memory or imaginary snapshot in time. This is the origin of the names (and yes, some are silly)---I see a scene or design element in my mind as I lay out the pieces. Unfortunately, some names stick and I've had to restring necklaces to better reach the end vision. I hope you enjoy browsing through my creations as much I as enjoyed making them. Please do contact me if you have a question; you can email me at valorie@ofgoodcheer.com or simply fill in the form below.
