On a 2023 day trip to Boquillas, Mexico I came home to Texas with a hand-beaded bracelet that inspired me to start my own beading journey. And so, Bryn Bead Co. was born. Just like creating a cocktail, I’m attracted to the limitless possibilities of colors and materials that can be used in something so delicate and beautiful as a pair of earrings.

I slow-make all of my pieces by hand in San Antonio, Texas (ancestral homeland of the Payaya Coahuiltecans), and take careful use of quality low-impact materials with minimal waste. With the intention that you will enjoy and love these pieces for a lifetime, I give every piece attention and like to mix materials so every work is unique - and always with a taste of Tejas.

Mucho love,

Willa Bryn
