About Us

Hi, I’m Kaylee.
I make bead bracelets using beautiful, high-quality gemstones — but not just the ones that are flawless and standard. I choose beads with character. A little unexpected color variation, a natural inclusion, or a unique shape — those are the details that catch my eye.

Unpretty Gems isn’t about using “ugly” stones — it’s about celebrating what makes each gem (and each person) a little different. I believe that real beauty isn’t always symmetrical or polished. Sometimes, it’s a tiny sparkle hidden in a cloudy bead, or a bold color that doesn’t follow the rules.

Every bracelet I make is one-of-a-kind, carefully crafted with intention and love. They’re made to remind you that being different is something to be proud of — and that you don’t need to be perfect to be beautiful.

Thanks for being here,
– Kaylee
