Lauren has always exhibited a passion for design. She started sewing at the age of 13, making her own clothes and taught sewing classes for years. She developed a passion for interior design in high school and after  College became an accomplished interior designer for over 15 years. Trademarks of her style are classic lines and natural materials.

In 2000, Lauren took several jewelry design classes and started making jewelry as a hobby, a pastime cultivated out of her fascination with the exquisite colors and textures found in natural gems, minerals, crystals and shells.

Friends and strangers alike would comment on Lauren's original pieces and she would often end up selling them right off her body. Many soon clamored for their own one-of-a-kind creations.

The appeal for Lauren's pieces grew, and demanded more of her time, so she decided to leave her 15 year career as a interior designer and began to work full time designing and making jewelry from unique stones, shells and Venetian glass as she continues to grow as a designer increasing her skills and her love of design.

As Lauren's collection and business expanded, so did the need for a Web site hence the founding of www.bellabeaddesign.com, so enjoy your time here and please feel free to contact Lauren with any suggestions or comments at: lauren@bellabeaddesign.com.
