Artist Statement:
"What makes my work so unique is the dimensional beading process I created in 1990. Up until then, bead weaving was an American Indian specialty that used single size beads to create a flat surface.
I didn’t want to compete with the master Native American beaders, rather I wanted to create something modern to differentiate my beading style from what the discerning shopper was accustomed to seeing. The solution was using different size beads with special finishes and materials such as gold cords and threads to create dimensions within the bracelet strip.
Many people have adopted this technique now as their own, however, my works stands alone in its use of color, pattern and complexity.

A fun fact about CRISLU!
Harold Adamson worked in Hollywood, California, famously creating jingles for Desilu Productions, including the theme for "I Love Lucy." One day, Harold brought his stepson, Lloyd Crisfield, to the studios in hopes of inspiring him to work in the arts! Lloyd, strolling around the Hollywood studios, gazed in awe at the bustling movie sets. He watched the gorgeous stars as they arrived stylishly attired in their designer dresses, accented with glimmering diamonds and pearls. He thought to himself, "Every woman should feel this luxurious!" Understanding the power and emotion of jewelry, Lloyd was inspired in that very moment. In March of 1961, he walked into his stepfather's offices at Desilu and announced,"I am going to create a jewelry brand like no one has seen before!" Without hesitation, CRISLU was born. It was designed for you, your mom, your sister, and every other woman in the world who deserves to experience luxury and opulence. All at an affordable price. The first affordable luxury jewelry brand.
