For several years, I showed my jewelry at shows, but  people have been asking me to post examples of my jewelry on the web. So here it is!


I have over 200 necklaces and over 400 pendants in stock, and if I don't have what you want, I will try to make it!


I enjoy wearing lots of different jewelry, so I try to keep my pieces affordable. Most of my pendants cost $20-$30 and necklaces usually cost $40-$75.


The gallery will show you some examples of my designs; however I also like to do designs to order, so if you don’t see what you want, or want to know prices, please contact me.

Handcrafted jewelry by Joan Kraus

I have been creating jewelry for over ten years, using many different media. When I couldn’t find pendants I liked, I turned to glass to create my own.


Glass is fascinating; it has a mind of its own, and often my “mistakes” lead to further effects. When I combine other media with glass, the possibilities for originality multiply.


I believe that jewelry should be comfortable and affordable. When a customer falls in love with a piece I have created, it makes me feel wonderful. If I can create a custom piece that matches a person’s dream, it gratifies me.
