San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 28, 2006 -- In celebration of its 25th anniversary and introduction of 2007 spring class curriculum "Awaken Your Creativity," The Bead Shop (www.beadshop.com) Palo Alto, CA features former student John S Brana.

Owner Janice Parsons remarks, "Over the past twenty-five years, I have seen students become recognized jewelry designers, bead store owners, and successful importers. I remember when John Brana first walked through the doors of The Bead Shop. John came in to take a class and from then on, he will tell you, he just wasn't the same. What happened to John happens every day at The Bead Shop; I call it the "Creative Light Bulb Moment". It's the instant when a new beader realizes s/he can actually make something… s/he can actually make jewelry! And, when you have that epiphany, you feel fantastic!"

Bold in scale, unique, and distinctive, John S. Brana's pieces are perfect for those who enjoy interesting jewelry design and are seeking to make an unusual statement. Working in sterling silver, fine silver, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K yellow and white gold wire, and pure silver and 22k gold precious metal clay, John combines various hand carved semi-precious gemstone beads, fresh water pearls, and natural faceted gemstones to create unique, one-of-a-kind, custom handcrafted art jewelry for both men and women.
