Grand-plaque Embroidered Necklace - Beaded Necklaces. About the Artist: Wendy Vasconcellos I started my home based jewelry business in 2008 with the idea of making unique quality jewelry at an affordable price. I was inspired by the reactions of both friends and family when my creations were given as gifts. I then read, researched trends and techniques until I was satisfied with my designs. Although I am in this business to sell jewelry, I look at every piece I sell as one of my children leaving home. The most satisfying thing about my business is when customers love the pieces and order more.
