BAKED BEADS

Baked Beads are designers and manufacturers of fashion jewelry including earrings, necklaces, scarves and accessories... Torn between his passion for both art and business, David left his hospitality financial consulting career to travel the world to write, paint, and contemplate his future. After three years of adventures around the globe, he ended up in the East Village of New York City in 1991. Determined to pursue a more creative path, he purchased a small bag of beads from an African bead store and taught himself how to make earrings... The business grew as David drove throughout New York and New England selling his creations store-to-store. His travels led him to the Mad River Valley in Vermont where he decided to relocate in September of the same year. A few months later, he met his soon to be wife, Robin, who added her design flair and marketing expertise to the growing fashion jewelry business.
