About Me
Welcome to Juicybeads Jewelry! My name is Tracy Kingery. I am the designer/bead artist here, maker of all the hand-crafted jewelry and accessories on this site.
Every piece I make is a creative adventure of combining color + texture + shape. I build these treasures with the skills and techniques learned over 20 years devotion to the craft. Bead by bead, I love the work! I share it with you, because like me, you want your jewelry to mean more than a trendy decoration. You see the beauty in these beads, and you want to see something different, wear something different.
I made all the pieces you see here on the site. I only make one of everything – if you own it, you’re the only one who does. It makes every handcrafted piece unique, just like the wearer, showcasing their unique style with a perfect finishing touch of color and shine.
I am also a BeadStar! In 2010, I won 2nd Place, Glass category, from BeadStar Magazine, with this floral beaded charm bracelet:
In the summer of 2016, this Summertime Wrap Bracelet was published in Stringing Magazine:
It had always been my dream to get published in that magazine - It started right publishing around the same time I began beading, it was an endless source of education and inspiration for me, and I was thrilled to be part of it!
I started Juicybeads Jewelry in 2004, offering one-of-a-kind, handcrafted wearable art, and providing excellent customer service to spread juicy bead-y happiness wherever it's needed. Check back often, I have so many design ideas still to be made and shared. Please contact me with questions or ideas - I love to talk about jewelry!
