Rita Okrent was one of the great ladies of the bead world. A talented designer who traveled the world and collected beautiful components, many ancient and antique, that she used in her own jewelery designs and also shared with others. Her legacy continues through her family, as daughter Jocelyne now heads The Rita Okrent Collection, home to beautiful beads, unique components and jewelry for sale - and all are exquisite. They attend prestigious bead shows, like the San Diego Bead Society's annual Bead Bazaar this past weekend, and can be found online at RitaOkrent.com, and on Etsy at RitaOkrentCollection.
