Hello!

Here is a bit about myself. My name is Walter and I was born and raised in Switzerland. I came to New York in 1981 to work in in a bank at the former World Trade Center. As a hobby, I pursued a fulfilling and creative hobby: collecting stones and minerals.
 
My true love has always been with stones, minerals and beads and and creating new fashion designs. Collecting rare and beautiful stones and beads  has been a hobby of mine since I was a little kid.
 
As an offshoot, I got involved with jewelry design. I  became so successful selling jewelry which I designed in my own studio workshop in New York, that I gave up my banking profession. I supplied department stores and upscale retail outlets with my signature high end "pave" custom  jewelry  designs all over the US and Europe.
 
At the same time I also worked in collaboration for some of the largest and most prestigious jewelry design firms of that time in New York   and became a founding partner of the Bead Shop in Switzerland, which still exists today.  
 
My fascination for beautiful beads, stones and glitz has never faded and I have continued that fascination into a new business adventure 10 years ago by supplying designers, stores and collectors  all over the world with common and rare quality beads, findings and stones.
 
I have gained a reputation for knowledge in the manufacturing process and reliable friendly service worldwide and do hope to count you also as one of my loyal customers.
 
Thanks for reading my bio and hope to do some business with you soon.

Ciao

Walter
