Bead n Butter

bead ‘n butter is owned by Jessie Pruden, a queer, colourful Métis woman from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Beading runs in her family and when Jessie picked up the needle and thread for the first time, it felt like home.

She is inspired by her family, friends, fashion, nature and the spirit of our Indigenous community. Putting a contemporary spin on beaded jewelry, she mixes bright, in-your-face colour with bold graphic design, creating special statement pieces for any occasion, and any person.

Each piece is carefully designed and handmade in her little office by her and her small team of friends and family, overseen by her half-chihuahua, half-pug Bella, using glass Miyuki seed beads, and precious stones.
