My name is Elizabeth, and at 70+ years young, I am still dancing to music, stringing beads, and embracing every adventure life brings. As a mother of four and a lifelong explorer, I’ve lived in Nigeria and Canada, and traveled to Brazil, Ghana, the USA, and Malaysia — each place leaving its mark on my heart and my art.

Beads have always been more than adornments to me. In Nigeria, they speak of royalty, celebration, and heritage. In Brazil, they echo rhythm. In Ghana, they carry tradition and color, for the USA, they tell stories of resilience and innovation.. And in Canada, they whisper of nature’s calm beauty. Each bead I craft is a reflection of these experiences — a bridge between cultures, a story you can wear.

For me, beads are not only about beauty, but also about pride. How we present ourselves is an expression of how we honor who we are. When we take pride in how we “look,” it is not vanity — it is a celebration of identity, dignity, and joy. Beads are part of that celebration: they uplift, they empower, and they remind us that we are worthy of being seen.

And while my journey has taken me across continents, my vision is not limited to the places I have stood. Beads of Heritage is about honoring all the countries of the world — every culture, every rhythm, every story. Because in every bead, I see the shared humanity that connects us all. My work is a reminder that no matter where we come from, we can celebrate life, beauty, and connection together.

What makes Beads of Heritage different isn’t just the designs, but the life behind them: the laughter, the dancing, the wisdom of years, and the joy of celebrating heritage in every detail. I believe that jewelry is not only for beauty, but for storytelling, for joy, and for connection. When you wear my beads, you’re not just wearing an accessory — these beads are not just mine to make, but yours to wear and enjoy — a spark of your story, your heritage, your joy. Dancing through life, one bead at a time.
