About Peggy Goodman

Pursuing a new friendship and a fresh challenge was the genesis of my ten year affair with beautiful beads. I have always been interested in color and design and this new "bead" passion was the perfect partner to what I was already pursuing in the fashion arena.

A lifelong Chicagoan, I am a graduate of Dominican University with a degree in music education. While I have continued to nurture my music - elementary school music teacher, choir director, music director for numerous theatrical productions and singer - I have always had an interest in the fashion industry and found my niche with a millinery business in the 1980's and 1990's. My custom bridal headpieces and veils were carried by I. Magnin and Saks Fifth Avenue and a major Chicago bridal designer at that time, Becky Bisoulis. One of my millinery creations was featured on the cover of the Spiegel Christmas catalog. Bridal headpieces and veils use sumptuous amounts of pearls and crystals, thus beaded jewelry became the natural extension of what I was creating.

The Peggy Goodman Collection was launched five years ago. The collection which included handbags, scarves and all facets of beautiful women's accessories was placed in Chicago area boutiques. At the center of the collection was my jewelry, created with an eye towards color, design and the contemporary woman. I now concentrate on the designing and crafting of beaded jewelry pieces and invite you to visit the pages of this website to view examples of my work and the services I offer. Please contact me for your very own creation from the Peggy Goodman Collection.

Thank you,
Peggy Goodman
