Beaded Jewelry 101 Workshop Testimonials:
Looking forward to this jewelry making session with Danielle-Nicole, was an understatement and she did not disappoint! With everything going on in the world, in the news about presidential races or life just life'n, it was really good and needed, to do something different. She set up the intimate vibe with jazz flowing in the background and an inviting space ready for me to create. She encouraged me to pick whatever items that spoke to me, and I did just that. Danielle-Nicole's space, vibe, inspiration and "how to" instructions allowed me to get into a creative space that I had forgotten about and I was able to build confidence that I could make a necklace from scratch. She has over 20+ years experience, so how could I fail?? It allowed me to create something beautiful. It allowed me to meet like minded women with a similar creative vibe and get to know them after the class. Once we were all finished with our masterpieces, we were able to showcase them with class and style. I'm looking forward to attending the next session. Thanks again Danielle-Nicole!! -Brandi, Private Party Participatant
I had such a great time at Danielle-Nicole's jewelry design workshop with Nontile Lifestyle! In just two hours, I learned so much and created a piece that I’m genuinely proud of. Danielle-Nicole made everything easy to follow, and her passion for jewelry design was contagious. It was a fun, hands-on experience that I’d recommend to anyone looking to try something new and creative!-Roki, Participatant
Beaded Jewelry 101 with Danielle-Nicole was a truly joyful and meaningful experience for our senior participants. What stood out most was how she created a space where creativity, cultural connection, and personal storytelling came together so naturally. Many of our residents hadn’t done beadwork since childhood, or ever, and were surprised by how calming, empowering, and even nostalgic the process felt. She guided the group with warmth, patience, and genuine respect for each participant’s pace and perspective. By the end of the session, not only had everyone created something beautiful, but there was a noticeable lift in energy, conversation, and confidence around the room. One resident said, “I didn’t know my hands could still do something this special.” This workshop wasn’t just about making jewelry, it was about being seen, celebrated, and reminded that creativity lives in us at every age. We can’t wait to invite her back.-Karen, Senior Activities Coordinator
Danielle-Nicole of Nontle Jewelry led a fantastic workshop for our members. Each person reflected on themselves while making a one-of-a-kind handcrafted piece of jewelry. There was an excellent variety of beading and product options to help suit everyone's needs. The peaceful atmosphere and tone Danielle-Nicole set allowed our members to root themselves in a safe community and share in ways that felt meaningful to them. Every attending member walked away smiling with a deeper connection to their new accessory and their community. This was more than a simple how-to workshop; it was a true space for community building and reflection. I am so thankful that Danielle-Nicole helped each of us find our inner beauty and guided us through intentional jewelry making that allowed us all to shine. -Alex, Director of Member Engagement
