About this Product
Unusual 2-sided pendant made by hand in Czechia in a small female-run factory. Competing with cheaper prices from China caused their centuries-old factory to close, so one lampworker opened her own small studio. She and her co-workers design and make jewelry to sell in stores and sell extra beads to visitors. I have been fortunate to visit and choose from their selection. I kept the design simple to highlight the focal piece and show both sides in the photos and also to keep it affordable.
The mauve bead is on a silver chain and is 17 1/2" long. I doubt you'll see another bead like it.

Welcome to my online shop. Take your time and look around--I am an eclectic artist who weaves, knits, ice dyes, and makes jewelry--and I love color!
Meet the Maker
My name is Patt, spelled with 2 t's because I like to stand out from the many Patricias and Pats in this world.
Creating new, colorful art suits my multi-tasking lifestyle.
Born in San Francisco and raised on the Peninsula, I found knitting, then weaving as "indoor sports" after moving and experiencing summer’s heavy coastal fog.
Vivid colors and textures drive my work. I consider myself eclectic — I weave, knit & felt, dye, and design and create jewelry. My passion is blending colors and textures into jewelry and textile designs while not following rules and doing the expected. I strive for wearable art pieces - my works are one of a kind. I create unusual pieces and prefer being ahead of the crowd rather than part of it.
My work sells in stores and at craft shows 4 to 5 times a year. I love the in-person selling, but like many artists, the pandemic forced me online, which has been a bonus because now I have new customers from all over the country. I started online as Patt711 on Etsy, and success encouraged me to add GoImagine.com with its new give-back concept. I have also ice-dyed textiles for an LA-based fashion designer.
If you live in or visit the SF Bay Area around Thanksgiving, I also participate in Open Studios in November and that information can be found on our website: www.colonyofcoastsideartists.com
I hope you enjoy my art as much as I do creating it.

Shop Policies
Processing Time: My goal is to ship within 24-48 hours after purchase is complete during a regular business week; however, my dye studio is several hours from my home shop, so if I am there, my shipping time is longer. Please message me if you need something within a specific time.
If something is commissioned and special ordered, I will give the buyer an estimated time for shipping.
Return Policy: Contact me within 7 days of delivery
Ship items back within 21 days of delivery
I don't accept exchanges or cancellations (unless I haven't yet shipped), but please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
Conditions of return: Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value.
FAQ's:
Do I custom dye? Yes, I will gladly dye something for you. Because ice dyeing is very random and unpredictable, I cannot guarantee the outcome but I have many delighted customers.
