This vintage (perhaps even antique) spoon was purchased by my best friend in the Netherlands, where she lives. The design of this spoon features a large old ship above the name “J. Henry Dunant” who was a Swiss humanitarian and the founder of the Red Cross. This spoon is silver plated.
Teeny tiny seed beads can be unruly. Using a bead spoon makes scooping them from their containers onto your work station much easier. Additionally, you can corral different colors into tidy piles to prevent dreaded “bead soup” of multiple colors mixing together.
Bead spoons are an essential tool in my own beading kit, and I think you’ll love adding this one to your own supply kit!
Our Signature Itty Bitty Sunset beaded earrings are our Signature Classic Sunsets scaled down to half the size. The mini size of this pair makes them the smallest style in our shop.
Inspired by a mug purchased from Ali Rae Ceramics, this brand new Sangria Ombré collection is a dazzling palette of 16 shades creating an ombré of rich cream, satin cranberry, and dark purple beads. Accented with a silver lined copper bead that flashes in the light, this ombré palette has a hint of fall but can absolutely be worn all year long. Wear these earrings and you may be reminded of sipping sangria in a summer's day or a perfect bouquet of fall dahlia blooms.

Inspired by the ombré color palettes of nature, Saddle Mountain Beadwork is known for capturing these color palettes in beadwork. In order to achieve a soft ombré transition, these palettes use 12-16 different shades, creating the perfect mix of colors and finishes, resulting in my Signature Collections.
Hi, I’m Rachel!
Environmental educator by day, beader by night.
I’m a marine science nerd, passionate environmental educator, and jewelry designer.
If I count all the way back to the beginning, I have been making and selling jewelry for almost 20 years. It all started as a school-yard hustle. I used to sell earrings out of my pencil box during recess to my friends and the recess duty ladies (bless their hearts for supporting little me way back then.) At this time, my business was called Shooting Star Creations.
Since March 2020 when I launched Saddle Mountain Beadwork, I have sold over 800 pairs of handwoven earrings. I hope you find your perfect pair of earrings here!
Currently, I also work as the Education Manager for a non-profit. I lead environmental education experiences for students along the entire Oregon Coast. My favorite days at work are when I get to explore the beach with curious kids, especially when it is low tide.
