Kimberly Stathis
Specialty - Bead Weaving
Throughout her life, Kimberly felt a constant need for a creative outlet; therefore, she explored a wide range of artistic media and found joy in each. However, it was seed beads that truly captured her heart and ignited her creative spirit. There is something uniquely alluring about those tiny pieces of colored glass that she simply cannot resist. She is especially drawn to the challenge of designing with seed beads using off-loom techniques, where an endless array of colors, textures, and shapes offers limitless opportunities for self-expression.
For the past 13 years, she has taught her original designs nationally, sharing her techniques and passion with students. She hopes that those who take her classes leave feeling inspired to continue their beadwork journey and to experience the same joy she finds in the craft. Her designs have been featured in Bead & Button magazine and in Lark’s Showcase 500 Jewelry book, reflecting both her skill and her creative vision.

Dreamer Necklace Live Virtual Zoom Workshop October 31, 2026, 11:00 AM-5:00 PM EST
A breathtaking oval crystal takes center stage in this elegant and eye-catching necklace, surrounded by pearls, crystals, and sparkling drops that catch the light from every angle.
Dazzling and sophisticated, this design is all about glamour and refinement. At its heart sits an oversized oval crystal, framed within a richly detailed beaded bezel. Above and below the centerpiece, lustrous pearls, radiant crystals, and delicate claw-set drops create layers of texture and sparkle. The necklace strap begins with a shimmering trio of crystal drops before gracefully dividing into a comfortable double band worked in Double Right-Angle Weave. Finished with a beautifully jeweled clasp adorned with pearls and crystals, this stunning piece is perfect for special occasions or adding a touch of luxury to any outfit.
