Jessica Rutherford's jewelry is inspired by the natural beauty of the beads she collects and creates. While currently spending her time fashioning designs from her hand made glass beads, her first love is gemstones. With a collection of over one-hundred kinds of stone and pearl, the design possibilities are endless. Special attention is given to every detail ensuring the quality and beauty of each piece. In addition to creating jewelry, Jessica enjoys time spent teaching others how to do so. She is an instructor at the Hoyt Institute of Fine Arts, the Pittsburgh Glass Center, and also gives private lessons. You can find her jewelry in many retail stores around Pittsburgh and at the local festivals she attends. Please check the events page for current listings. Jessica is affiliated with: Pittsburgh Glass Center, Hoyt Institute of Fine Arts, 3 Rivers Glass Beadmakers (3RGB), & the International Society of Glass Beadmakers.
