Jewelry designer Eva Sherman began beading as a way to spend time with her daughters, but soon became hopelessly addicted. She traded in her architectural career, as well as her bank account for the opportunity to spend all her time among beads. Grand River Beads and Gift Gallery opened in 2005 and has become a destination for jewelry designers looking for unique beads as well art appreciators looking for locally created, hand crafted art. Eva's jewelry designs have been featured in Stringing Magazine, Step By Step Wire and Bead Trends. More of Eva's work work here.
