Barbara Pierce was born and raised in New Jersey.  After fifteen years of traveling between their homes in Ennis and New Jersey, Barbara and her husband became year round residents in 2004. 

Always admiring American Indian jewelry and beadwork, Barbara began designing hand beaded chokers and necklaces reflecting these themes.  Her passion for this art form has grown from jewelry making to this form of hand beaded necklaces.  In addition to her completed works, Barbara accepts special orders to create one of a kind necklaces from a wide variety of beads and natural materials.
