History of Kilikina's Beadwork
Hello, welcome to my beaded jewelry and supply shop. My name is Kilikina. I am also known as Christie and C.C. I own Kilikina's Beadwork and C.C.'s Beadwork.

I started making beaded jewelry in December of 1988, but I have always had a special love of beads. I contribute this special love to my American Indian heritage from my mother's side of our family. My earliest memories of beading are with my great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother making beaded belts.

The beaded items you will find on my site are made by me, one bead at a time. Periodically I may list items made by my family members, but I will label them as so. I design a lot of my own patterns, but others have come from patterns I have purchased, traded, or been given by family members, friends or customers. I strive to produce excellent quality beadwork, and I stand behind my art. I will repair, free of charge, any item that has a designer flaw on my part. I also try very hard to keep my prices as low as possible for my customers. My prices are determined by the jewelry's style, the time used to make the item, the type of materials used and their prices. This is an art, so no two pieces are exactly the same. If you see something I have listed, but would like to change it, let me know, I do custom orders.

I would like to thank all of my customers for their ideas, suggestions, and purchases. Some of you have been buying my jewelry for years, a few of you own almost one of everything I have ever made! To all of my customers, thank you very, very much. May The Great Spirit bless you.
