Welcome to Symphony Beads! I'm Beka Wilson, a music teacher, jewelry designer, multi-instrumentalist, church orchestra member, music arranger/composer, and mommy of two crazy kids. I've been beading for around 15 years as a side hobby and making gifts for friends and family. After seeing one too many backwards treble clefs while looking for some music-themed charms, I got mad and decided to try making some with some spare wire in my supplies. Music is my life and one of my greatest loves, and I hope that love shines through in my pieces.
I learned many of my jewelry skills through the women in my family. My grandma used to own a business supplying beads to craft stores, and when she got out of the business she gifted me a great deal of her leftover inventory. I have so many memories of my grandma, aunt, mom, sister, and I sitting around the table, working on our own jewelry projects late into the night while we snacked, chatted, and laughed until we cried.
