Elena Adams

Originally from Sydney, Australia, Elena has lived in the Bay area for three years. After the finding The Bead Shop, she quickly knew this is where she wanted to work, and is now the company's web manager. Elena has aimed to turn the increasingly popular art of chain maille into something delicate and more widely appealing. She has been making chain maille-style jewelry for over six years.

Being in an environment of other artists has led to newer passions for wire work, metal smithing and gemstones. Interested in focusing on amazing natural centerpieces and accent stones, Elena tries to incorporate her new passions into her chain work, producing a unique style which she loves sharing with others.
