Areeayl Goodwin, a Philadelphia native, began teaching herself how to make jewelry in high school and shortly after launched Beads byAree during her sophomore year at Howard University.
Beads ByAree pieces embody youth, creativity and a lyrical brightness and fluidity that can only be described as ethereal.
The collection is encompassing and striking yet stays true to the whimsical and imaginative nature that she infuses into all of her pieces.
As you can see, Areeayl does not follow the conventional rules of fashion – and it does not take much to see that Areeayl actually doesn’t really follow any conventional rules!
While I personally have an affinity for seeing artists’ beautiful sketches before the piece is constructed – it is refreshing to know that Areeayl does not sketch out her pieces! With music and intuition as her main sources of inspiration she draws from her dreams or designs and constructs from memory. Areeayl brings her unique and thoughtful materials, stones and design to harmonize eclectic and empowering one of a kind pieces.
