Meet the Maker
Hi, I'm Janea.
I make every single piece you see here — by hand, with love, one bead at a time.

How It Started
I'm a bartender by day — and a beader by night. After coming out of a 9-year relationship, I needed something to do with my hands and my heart.
I bought a bag of beads on a whim. That was it. What started as something to keep my mind busy turned into something I genuinely can't stop doing.
I already had a house full of inventory — pieces I'd been making just because I loved making them. So I decided to share them. Charm & Chain is that decision.
"Every piece I make is a little bit of my story."
How I Make Each Piece
Every Charm & Chain piece goes through the same hands-on process — mine.
1. Pick the Beads
Seed beads, pony beads, acrylic shapes — every color combination is hand-selected with intention.
2. String & Wire
Strong elastic cord or wire, depending on the piece. Each item type has its own build technique.
3. Finish & Inspect
Hypoallergenic findings on all earrings. Final quality check on every piece before it ships.
Caring for Your Piece
- Keep away from water — remove before swimming or showering
- Store in a dry place out of direct sunlight
- Avoid contact with perfume or lotion directly on the beads
- Gently wipe with a soft cloth to clean
