My love for making jewelry began several years ago when my friend, Beth introduced me to the art of beading at my kitchen table. I became hooked on designing jewelry and my desire to create unusual and interesting pieces grew.

As a child, I had a love for jewelry, especially anything with turquoise and silver.  Throughout my childhood, my parents would purchase turquoise jewelry for me from Native Americans all over the country. These artisans have continued to inspire me to grow and learn from their pieces.

My jewelry vision is inspired by my love of God, life, the ocean, nature, and gardening. Each piece of my jewelry is an expression of myself.  It is my hope that your jewelry selection will define who you are.  It gives me great pleasure to see someone wearing a piece of jewelry that I have created. 

Artist Missie Rabdau was born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Northern Virginia. She creates her pieces in her Richmond, Virginia studio. Missie lives with her husband, Tim and their three children. Nature and family are the foundation of her inspiration. The combination of the two reflects through beautifully in every handmade design.
