Welcome to the new home of West End Designs. Here you will find one of a kind artisan-crafted handmade jewelry, made by Kate Vasa in my studio in historic Norwell, MA. I am a self representing artist and take great pride in creating unique designs. The lampwork beads used in my designs are carefully selected by acclaimed artists in the US who have been perfecting their craft for years. Please take note: These are NOT 'lampwork" beads from a big box craft store - these are unique artisan made beads that are truly one of a kind! Sterling silver, Swarovski crystals and pearls and genuine gemstones accent the handcrafted beads. Plated metals are never used. While this may make a price difference due to the current silver market rate, be assured your jewelry will last for years. Having been in the designing for a decade, my jewelry is worn all over the US and Europe and has even been on the Broadway stage in "A Dancer's Life".

You can read more about me on my blog which I sometimes update! http://www.westenddesigns.blogspot.com

For information and to purchase: please email me at westenddesigns (at) gmail (dot) com I will try to get back to you within 24 hours, your patience is appreciated as I am not at the computer 24/7!!!

A note about the jewelry: each piece is one of a kind. When it's sold, it's gone forever. I will however on occasion, be able to make a "similar" piece, but custom orders are always welcome. Feel free to email me for details.

My jewelry is also available at the acclaimed Link Gallery in Cheyenne Wyoming.
