Wine, Women & Beads

Fall Jewelry Creation

Ladies Night Out

Thursday, November 10th

6:30pm - 8:30pm

Join a few of our fabulous, experienced jewelry designers for an evening of relaxed, creative fun designing and making jewelry to update your style for the Holidays! Bring your ideas and sample images (if you have them) and we’ll help you create a stunning design with some of our fabulous beads & pendants that you make yourself.

You are welcome to bring your own merlot, chardonay or other beverage of your choice, along with munchies to share if you like. We’ll provide the beads, music and creative direction. The cost for the evening is $35 per person (includes a $15 Bead Lounge Gift Card to use for materials) which nets you at least one necklace and one pair of earrings plus a little one-on-one time with our designers. If you tend to have expensive tastes, like me, materials upgrades are available! Invite a few friends and come have a great night out!

If you would like to join us for the evening, please RSVP by Wednesday, November 9th by calling the store at 303-678-9966 or emailing to janis@beadlounge.com.
