Lori Thomas, owner of Deezeyener Jewelry & Gifts, started designing and making jewelry over 10 years ago when she began fusing dichroic glass.

Since then, her creations have diversified and now include semi-precious gems, fine glass beads and Swarovski crystals in the designs.

She also makes some sculptural pieces from polymer clay. Lori is very excited to have recently opened her store in the Crown Point Courthouse and is enjoying the warm response customers are giving.
