Jayashree Paramesh

Specialty - Bead Weaving

Jayashree Paramesh’s journey into the world of beads started with a bead embroidery class when she was a student at Parsons, The New School for Design in New York—and it ignited a passion that continues to influence her work today. She finds inspiration everywhere and creates from within, allowing each piece to develop naturally. Instead of sticking to a single signature style, her designs are driven by a desire to showcase the unique beauty of both the beads and the woman who wears them. She is particularly inspired by fine jewelry, often incorporating touches of gold or silver, and she is naturally attracted to the sparkle of crystals and the rich, jewel-toned colors of gemstones.

With nearly nine years of beading experience, Jayashree has established herself as both a designer and educator. Her work has been published in Perlen Poesie, Beadwork, and Bead & Button. She has taught—and continues to teach—at studios and bead stores across the United States, as well as at Bead & Button Shows, exclusive bead retreats, bead cruises, and Bead Guilds. For Jayashree, sharing her designs with fellow bead artists is not just teaching—it is a deeply gratifying and meaningful experience.
