http://www.MaryAnnArtist.blogspot.com
"Wire Jewelry Blog", Mary Ann Testagrossa Designs blog, has changed it's name to "Maria Bella Jewelry." I like to write about handcrafted jewelry, my life as a jewelry artist, and my gemstone bead store, Tiger Beads. I also write general articles for jewelry lovers on topics including metal and gemstone care, monthly birthstone facts and history, pearl care, the history of jewelry, etc.
Included in my blog are amusing stories about the 2 cats who rule my life, Tiger and K.C., stories of home life, and opinion pieces about current events.
