Cynthia Bloom stumbled upon a long-forgotten antique gift that had belonged to a friend's grandmother. Sparking a dormant creative force, Cynthia refashioned the classic piece using old glass beads into a refreshing piece of handmade jewelry. Her inauspicious start as a designer selling pieces of original jewelry out of an old cigar box to the restaurant patrons she served food to, has since blossomed into a force that has landed her unique jewelry in the hands of more than 100 retailers in 25 states. Cynthia Bloom studied photography, fashion merchandising and metal smithing and is now producing some of the world's finest handmade jewelry centered on rare beads from Austria, Czechoslovakia and Italy.
