I really like it. How long have you been making jewelry?

Thanks for the kind words, Jake, and the inquiry! My wife and I have been making jewelry for about eight years now. We focus mostly on semiprecious stones. Liberty does all of the wire-wrapping. I'm more of the physical labor.

I really like your charcoal work, too. I wish I had the ability to be creative with 2-D art. My wife is also an excellent 2-D artist as well. She's done large murials in people's houses and done small art pieces. Maybe this artist co-op will get her painting again, too.

When you are an artist from your soul up. You have to make art, if you don't it will leave an empty place. So tell her I think she should paint again. If only for herself.

My name is Liberty Van Genderen. My company’s name is Liberty & Co. based out of my home in Prairie City, Iowa, in which I live with my husband, Brad, and three children, Kelsey, Masio, and Serenity.

I have been making jewelry for over eight years. This is a creative experience that turned into a small, part-time family business in which we participate in multiple shows around Iowa and surrounding states throughout the year. My passion is in using unique natural stone beads to make my jewelry. I also like to use my artistic side by wire-wrapping some of my beads and also incorporating beach glass into my work.

My art fits into the “jewelry” category. The sizes of my pieces are typical of other jewelry. The average price for my bracelets is $12, with a range from $10-$16. The average price for my necklaces is $26, with a range from $22-$35. All of my earrings are $5 per pair.
