My name is Lauren and I’m the artist/designer behind the madness of Lunalu Artisan Jewelry; formerly Lp’S Jewelry. 

 

I’ve been creating jewelry, off and on, since I was a young girl. I became heavily involved in my early 20’s and eventually came to the discovery of gemstones.  I was instantly hooked! I never knew you could get garnet in bead form, and so began my love affair, and infatuation, with gemstones; both precious and semi-precious alike.

​

All elements are carefully selected for their quality.  I strive to provide some of the best materials available to me in every piece I create. I like to center my pieces around the stones and work from there. I use Swarovksi Crystals, Czech Glass, and other quality-like materials to accent the pieces when creating. I find it fascinating that the majority of the materials I work with are created, naturally, beneath our very feet, even the metals themselves.

 

My work has been published throughout multiple crafting and jewelry magazines; mostly Bead Trends and Jewelry Affaire.  I have also partaken in some wonderful online events such as Happy Mango’s contests: “Bead Scarey” where I placed in their “Alternate winners”, and the “Bead My Valentine” where I won the category of “Love Me Like a Rock”.  In total I’ve had over a dozen pieces published and am humbled every time.
