About Us

Hi, I’m Marina, the CBO (Chief Beading Officer) of BeadsByME MKE—along with my son Elliott.

What started as a simple beading activity with my toddler has grown into a small business rooted in creativity, intention, and everyday wear.

The name is personal: the “M” stands for Marina, and the “E” for Elliott—a reflection of where it all began. What started as a way to spend time together quickly turned into a passion for designing and handcrafting pieces we truly love.

Each bracelet is thoughtfully handmade using high-quality materials, including 14k and 18k gold-plated and gold-filled beads, freshwater pearls, acrylic accents, and our signature evil eye designs for protection and positivity.

Our collections are designed for women, men, and children—created to be worn daily, stacked effortlessly, and styled your way. Every piece is made with intention, and we’re always happy to customize designs to make something uniquely yours.

Handmade with care. Designed to be lived in. Made to mean something.
