Hi I'm Alex a horse crazy artist originally from NYC.  Currently I'm based out of southern Fl..  We have one fabulous horse (Socksy) 2 dogs, 5 cats, 3 turtles and a massive amount of fish!  While I enjoy many forms of art and crafts I fell in love with making jewelry as a young child.  We had an amazing nanny who encouraged my passion for art.  Like many jewelers I got my start in beading.  I quickly moved onto wire wrapping and pearl knotting.  Then I took a class in metalsmithing and was hooked!   Back in 2007 my beloved horse DontKnowJack aka Hennessey needed surgery.  For years jewelry making had been mostly a hobby and selling my work on the back burner. But now to help Hennessey I needed to focus on it!  I decided it was time to turn that profitable hobby into a full fledged business. By combining my two greatest passions—creating one-of-a-kind jewelry and working with horses—I was able to help Hennessey.  We went onto have many adventures during our ten years together. Hennessey and the many other horses in my life are my greatest inspiration. I often use my knowledge of bead stringing, pearl knotting and wire-work in conjuncture with skills learned while getting my AAS in Jewelry Design with a concentration in Studio from the Fashion Institute of Technology. The Beaded Pony specializes in multi-strand necklaces and equine themed jewelry. I take great pride in bringing you high quality unique jewelry at affordable prices. Using high quality materials ranging from sterling silver, copper, brass and gold to gemstones and handmade ceramic beads from South America.  I'd love to help you design your own custom creation!
