Joanne Drewsen

Joanne Drewsen’s love of beads—their colors, shapes, and textures—began more than 40 years ago. Over the decades, her travels across the United States and abroad have taken her to places like India, Afghanistan, Türkiye, Greece, Ecuador, Mexico, and Scotland, where she has gathered unique beads that carry the character of each culture. For Joanne, searching for beads is both an artistic adventure and a way to connect with the world.

Her jewelry blends elegance with accessibility, using an intuitive eye to combine colors, forms, and materials into timeless designs. Each piece is crafted with high-quality elements, including sterling silver and gold-filled findings, and comes with a description of the beads and the qualities they bring to the wearer.

Joanne lives with her husband on Camano Island, where the sweeping views of Port Susan and Mount Baker provide daily inspiration for her work. She hopes her jewelry brings joy, beauty, and a sense of story to those who wear it.
