About

Inspiration is never more than a foot away, as Lorelei Eurto previously worked full time in an Art Museum in Upstate New York. She has since left that position to nurture her jewelry career. She has been creating handmade beaded and wire jewelry for the past 8 years, and is completely self-taught. Inspired by nature, texture, shapes, and color, Lorelei creates fun art jewelry that is easy to wear. Each piece is a collaboration of sorts, as she enjoys using other artisan made jewelry components in each of her designs. Another strong element in Lorelei's jewelry is asymmetry. Creating designs that are asymmetrical, with focal points that are strategically placed at any point on a necklace or bracelet helps draw the eye around the entire piece. Lorelei has written a helpful ebook on creating asymmetrical designs as well as many other tutorials and ebooks.
You can find Lorelei's designs in Chain Style by Jane Dickerson, Wire Style 2 by Denise Peck, BeadStyle magazine, Jewelry Stringing magazine, Step by Step Beads, Step by Step Wire, and various other beading magazines. Be sure to pick up a copy of Bohemian-Inspired Jewelry that she co-wrote with Erin Siegel.
