From childhood Carla begin following in her mothers footsteps at the Arts and Crafts Show circuit in Michigan where her mother sold hand made crafts from picture frames to pendants. At a young age Carla started with her own creations to accompany the product wares. Even then her creations were well received and sold well. This put the "sellers" fire into Carla and thus her jewelry business was born.

Since moving to San Diego California in 1996 Allure Beadworks has focused on fine Swarovski crystal and sterling silver jewelry. With custom hand-made features and fine wire-wrapping techniques Carla’s jewelry designs have been sold in retail stores, online and at Art and Craft shows across Southern California.

In 2001 Allure Beadwork’s Beaded Lanyards came about from interested Airline employees who were required to ware ID badges. With her Jewelry design background Carla’s beaded lanyards are stylish, sleek, and unique.

Although the Lanyards are a step away from Allure Beadworks finer jewelry line their success has inspired us. With Lanyard usage booming we have decided to grow our Beaded Lanyard line and offer them online with their own website, here at BeadedIDLanyards.com
