Welcome to Grace Lampwork Beads!

Customer Reivew

This is just a short testimonial but I wanted to say how beautiful the quality of your beads are. I bought a bulk quantity of your rainbow round & square pillow beads for a fair that I went to this summer and everyone loves your beads! Quality is unsurpassed in detail and design. And you were a joy to work with and made me an excellent Deal. Your rainbow design works perfectly with my company identity. Representing "light waves" in my work with colors is paramount.

Thank you. Live your dream...

Hello,

I NEVER email anyone to tell them how much I admire their work but I just HAD to tell you.
 
I am an artisan who designs and sells to galleries and other shops. I do no true retail work and everything I buy to use comes from out of state so no tax liability is incurred.

I have been using your designs for a little over 6 months but I have buying them through ArtBeads.

I  found you because for once I took the time to read the advertisements in the back of several of the magazines I subscribe to such as Lapidary Artist, Jewelry Design, BeadWork, Stringing, Button and Bead, WireWork etc and there you were!!! Much to my delight and joy!
 
I wear your dragonfly design almost every time I dress to leave the studio or house. That design and the wonderful lilac & blue pillows are my all time favorites.
The few retail sales I have made have been as a result of wearing your work! People stop me everywhere and ask who made my bracelets, earrings or watch band bracelets and I give them my card. I sell the pieces I make for these 'special orders' through a local artisans group so as to not have to bother with collecting tax and paperwork associated with retail sales.

I buy mostly from small lampwork artists who sell directly to artisans but your website convinced me to have someone go down to the SC Tax Commission and buy a tax resale license so I can buy wholesale from you at 25-35% as well as a nice % less than from ArtBeads prices!

I am so thrilled that I HAD to tell you how much I love your designs. More and more I am using your designs and several times ARTBEADS was out and that smarted!

Have a super Labor Day weekend and know you have a new customer and a very great admirer of your work,

Hello,


I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your exquisite work! I had such fun buying your beads at the Pasadena Bead and Design show last month and now I am busy attempting to make necklaces to showcase them!
All the best!

Dear Grace,

I just received my shipment of your glass beads today - I'm in total shock! They are beautiful, and a masterpiece!

I knew when I entered your website and saw your work, I hit the jackpot. There are so many vendors that produce mass productions of one item, however, your work is something to be said.

I'm very excited to take your art and expand on it. I hope I make justice of your work. As soon as I complete my jewelry, I will send you pictures. In the meantime, I now know where to go to get my next supply.

Thank you again for bring beauty into this world.

Thank you Grace - it was really nice meeting you as well. You can tell just by
meeting you how passionate you are about your designs. You were very bubbly - it was
nice to see that.

Your beads are really lovely! Bob and I would love to be designing beads someday as
well. Maybe someday we could take a class with you. It is nice to be working doing
something you are passionate about. We have been busy at work in an office (which
pays the bills) but once we get some time to do the thing we like to do best,
making jewelry, we will try to create something really special with your beads.
Right now we sell the bulk of our designs through the office and word of mouth.
When we design something with your special beads, we will send you a picture. If you
are happy with it, we would be thrilled to have you put it in your newsletter.

Keep up the great work!! Have a wonderful day!! Thanks again!!

Dear Grace:

My husband and I saw you yesterday at the bead show in New York and
purchased some of your beads - they are really beautiful - we can't wait
to design something with them.

Thank you again.

Best,

Dear Grace,

I found an ad in BeadStyle for your beads and just went to your website.
I have never seen such lovely designs on a bead and I can't even see but
the few you have on the front page. I am a designer and would consider
it a privilege to make my jewelry with your designs. What an artist you
are.God has gifted you!

I will fax my tax ID number tomorrow. It's after midnight now.

Thank you for sharing your talent with the world so that we can long
enjoy the work of your hands. Keep learning and sharing.

Kind regards,

Hi Grace,

This is Judy, I came to your office last week and bought several of your beautiful lampwork beads. I've made some beautiful earrings from them which I will be selling at a Christmas Fair tomorrow, wish me luck!

I've taken pictures of the earrings last night but have not transferred them off the camera yet. Next week I will email you the pictures.

Take care,
and keep up the beautiful designs!

Dear Grace,

It was a delight to meet you at the BABE show in Oakland. I bought several of your
pillow beads and this round, flat-backed bead as well. Attached find a picture of a
pendant I just finished. I plan on making more of the same with the pillow beads.
Your beads are unique as well as beautiful. Are you going to be making any more of
the round, flat-backed beads, or are they just not on the website? I am interested
in buying more of them as well as the pillow beads. Everyone who has seen your beads
thinks they are gorgeous.

Sincerely,

Dear Grace,

Just wanted to tell you how much my daughter and I enjoyed meeting you
and visiting with you at the Denver show this last weekend. You may recall
I am the person who used to live in San Jose, near where you live in
Evergreen. My daughter lives in Denver, and I am based in the Dallas
area most of the year.

You had the best, most intriguing booth in the entire vendor area; I
hope to see you and your work at future shows--perhaps Grapevine next year.

I have ordered a few beads tonight, and can't wait to get my hands on
them! My daughter, Kate, and I were especially interested in the beads
you said you called "Fiesta"--the black based ones. However,
it was hard to decide which ones we liked best--everything was so amazing.

Congratulations on your beadmaking success, and I wish you the best in
the future.

Sincerely,

Grace,

I wanted to let you know that your beads were far and away the most
beautiful beads at the Marlborough bead show.....that is a bit of an understatement,
given that there were not a lot of lamp work artists there, but in any case,
yours were treasures.

I know it's a big distance for you to come all the way out here for this
show, but I do hope you will keep coming. It is such a treat to see all your
beads and to take home as many as I did for future creations.

I would love to see some solid color Pandora-style beads to 'match' the
colors of the beautiful beads (that style) that i got yesterday from you! I'd
love some of the light purple, berry, 'light' peridot green, blues, etc..

Thank-you for the beautiful beads and for coming all this way to be at the
show!

Dear Grace,

It was so lovely meeting you yesterday and looking at all your
beautiful beads.

Most of my work is in sterling silver and gemstones, so I rarely buy
glass beads. I also have a line of jewelry made entirely of African beads. I donate
to benefit AIDS orphans in Kenya through the sale of that jewelry line.

Your beads were too unique to resist! (I am the woman who purchased
the warm handfuls of hearts.) I can't wait to create some jewelry to really
show them off. Each one is a work of art. I will include them in my holiday trunk
shows this year.

I see by your website your business is quite successful. You deserve
it and congratulations. I look forward to purchasing more beads from you in
the future. In the meantime I'm so happy to have met you yesterday and wanted to
tell you so.

Warm Regards,
meeshka

 

Dear Ms. Ma,

I saw your beautiful designs at BABE, bought several strands, and went
right to work making a necklace using gunmetal chain and your products
11204902 and 11204904. Here's a photo (sorry about the quality - it's from a
cell phone). I look forward to being amazed by your talent and
purchasing more beads from you in the future.

Thank you so much for your news letter and list of shows. I am so thrilled with the beads I purchased from you in Las Vegas. They are just gorgeous.
Please continue to keep me in the loop as to your further information.

Hi Grace,

It was a nice surprise to meet you today at the bead show at the
Scottish Rite Center in San Diego today. I really loved your beads the
first time I saw them. I saw them for the first time last year at a show
at the Town & Country hotel in San Diego. A lady from Sonoran Beads had
them on display at her table. I couldn't make up my mind between the two
sets you saw today, so I just had to get both. The beads with the white
background and the black background both have a lot of character. Made up
into bracelets like the ones I made really shows them off. I enjoyed
meeting you today and taking a look at all the bead sets you had
available. Such wonderful choices and colors. I can't wait to get
started on the 2 sets of beads I bought from you today along with matching
hearts for each. I think I'll try something a little different with these.
Instead of making my usual bracelets, I'm going to make necklaces with
chain. I don't have the design worked out just yet, but I can't wait to
get started and get them made. I can't wait to have access to your website
so I can take a look at what else you have. Hope you had a good weekend in
San Diego.

I just wanted to tell you how much I liked your beads and the items I made
with the pieces I bought. I work mostly with vintage beads as they are
often inexpensive to find and vintage colors are different than those of
today. I bought several focal beads from your booth at the Madison Bead
Show. I went right home and immediately made two necklaces. They went
perfectly with the vintage beads I had in mind when I was at your booth. I
am looking forward to your return to Wisconsin at the Milwaukee show. I
will be purchasing many more of your beads to accent my already large
collection.

Thanks.

Grace, you probably don't remember me but I was at the last New York show and my husband and I bought a few beads from you, actually a lot of beads. I just love your beads, they are the nicest beads I've seen from the shows I've gone to and the websites I've seen.  I just wanted to let you know what I think, keep up the good work and stay as nice as you are.

...I purchased beads from you when you where in Wilmington Delaware. I wanted to purchase beads to go with your beads, (similar to what you showed)......I am anxious to be able to finish making my necklace so that I can show off your beautiful beads. I have been to many shows before and since I saw you, and nothing compares. I appreciate any help that you can give me.

Dear Grace, It was lovely meeting you and having a chance to talk to you yesterday at the bead show. I hope you had a great show! I'm so excited to see all the new colors and designs that you have. I know that I'll be a loyal customer of yours for a long time to come! I'll look forward to seeing your work at another bead show soon.
