Well this is me!  Claire Odams, 30 something (for a final few months anyway!!).  I have lived in Leicestershire all my life.  I have been designing individual pieces of jewellery since I fell in love with beads - 4 years ago.

I have spent the last few years at home raising my 3 gorgeous girlies (well ... gorgeous most of the time!).  

I have a passion for those trinkets and accessories that you find in the best gift shops, the chunky 'New England' style hearts that you hang in your home.  The pretty fabric bunting, candles, napkin rings wall hangings ..... and so much more.

But I have a problem.  Space! Clutter!

So now I collect the things that I like and make them into wearable pieces of jewellery.  Modern, contemporary pieces which are compatible with and compliment todays fashion.   I use different mediums, glass, wire, cotton cords, sterling silver and silver plated beads.  There is no specific design  mantra that I follow, I choose the materials and colours and put them together in a way which I think is fun and different and unique to Bead Eclair.
