Hello, welcome to my shop of handmade jewelry.  My name is Kilikina.  I am also known as Kili, Christie, and C.C.  I own Kilikina's Beadwork and I am the sole maker of my products.  

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

The beaded items you will find in my shop are made solely by me, one bead at a time.  I also enjoy making other items with various beads, charms, wire bending and other materials.  I design a lot of my own patterns, but others have come from patterns I have purchased, have been purchased as gifts for me, traded, or been gifted 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 reasonable as possible for my customers.  My prices are determined by the jewelry's style, my time used to make the items, the type of materials used and the material's 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 so I can see what I can do for you. 

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