The Maker Behind the Beads

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
