For jewelry designer Kathi Kupferschmid, Care to Bead is a way for her to nourish and rejuvenate her spirit. As caregiver & nurturer to her husband, who was diagnosed with ALS, Kathi’s one-of-a-kind earrings, bracelets, pendants, and other hand-strung beaded accessories are more than simple adornments. They are talismans that soothe and heal.

Whether with energy-boosting Carnelian, through the protective & soothing qualities of Jade, or in the strength-giving spirit of Agate, Care to Bead has given the ancient art of storytelling a fashionable makeover.

Through Kathi’s recognizable artistry, Care to Bead jewelry & accessories spread tangible joy to her endless list of satisfied clients.

The language of love is not always found between the covers of a book. Instead, for Kathi Kupferschmid, they are often spelled out in beads & baubles; with colorful crystals & gemstones, and illuminated by glimmering glass, and shimmering sterling silver.
