Juanita, Website Supervisor

Three years before I started at Nina Designs I opened a shop called Ollie Mae Mercantile where I sold antique lace, vintage buttons, and vintage treasures. I still enjoy scouring estate sales and flea markets in search of junk-tique. My path into jewelry making began there. I found old costume jewelry worthy of being torn apart and re-created into something to die for! Before I knew it I fell head over heels in love with beads and jewelry making.

My Current Favorite Components

These days I’ve been into EASY! I’ve been using jewelry findings that are time savers, easy to use, and simple. From ready to wear pieces to simple clasps, Nina Designs offers many solutions.
