Self taught artist, Lisa Zamcho has been designing jewelry over the past twenty years. In 1989 Lisa began making bracelets and necklaces with her hand-crafted paper beads made from old magazines. From there, Lisa learned the skills of intricate bead weaving techniques and along the way found the joy of working with healing gemstones and BrightFireBeads was born.

Today Lisa combines her love of beads, gemstones, vintage items , antique pocket watch parts ,with metal jewelry components to create new collections of jewelry.

In her latest collection titled “Time Zone” Lisa up-cycles old pocket watches, broken jewelry parts , gemstones, beads and vintage findings to create a new piece. The Time Zone collection is inspired by the past, the future, worm-hole travelers, nature and technology. Each piece in the Time Zone collection tells a story that is as unique as the one who wears it. What Time Zone will you be in?
