We were in New York for the weekend and my wife and I wandered into the bead stores because she loves this stuff and I started looking at all of the different beads, the glass, the wood, and the pearls. I started tinkering around thinking, I'll make her a souvenir from New York.

So Paolo Fietta set out to make his wife a necklace and so it began. She started wearing the pieces to work and her coworkers kept asking her where she got her jewelry.

Husband and wife team, Paolo and Pina Fietta turned their love of making jewelry into a business with newly launched www.kraftykameleon.com.

Krafty Kameleon carries a fabulous collection of high quality handmade rings, necklaces and bracelets with fresh water pearls, Swarovsky crystals, a range of semi-precious stones, shell, crystals and glass including fire jade, turquoise, coral, sponge coral, porcelain beads from Lisbon, citrine, peridot, walnut wood, poppy jasper, black onyx, sterling silver and murano glass.

Pina has always had a passion for jewelry, and both she and Paolo have family histories of Italian artisans working with stone, marble, wood and glass.

I grew up working with stone and wood", says Paolo. "I also have a particular affinity for murano glass because I grew up close to the industry and I'd always seen the masters at work, I mean the stuff that they'd make out of glass was amazing. I have uncles and relatives who are artisans with wood and ceramics so you're just inspired.

Krafty Kameleon makes custom orders so if you see something you like but you'd prefer it in a different color or length or style, it's no problem.
