About

Hi! I’m Kalina, the creator behind Kalina Isabelle, a handmade beaded earring shop where art, heritage, and modern design meet. I discovered beading in June 2024 and immediately fell in love—with the craft, the creativity, and the meaningful connections it brings.

I had the privilege of learning to bead from a Chickasaw First American artist, and that experience deeply shaped my approach to jewelry-making. Many of my pieces reflect the influence of traditional Chickasaw beadwork.

My work is also inspired by my own Scandinavian (Norwegian and Swedish) heritage, blending folkloric motifs with contemporary aesthetics. You’ll see hints of geometric Art Deco lines, the bold energy of pop art, and color palettes that reflect both nature and nostalgia.

Each pair of earrings is handcrafted with care, using high-quality seed beads and brick stitch techniques. Whether you’re drawn to bright, playful designs or elegant, minimal statements, I hope you find something in my collection that resonates with your style and spirit.

Thank you for supporting small, handmade art. Every piece tells a story—and I’m so grateful to share mine with you.
