Rene Despres

I was born in Phoenix, AZ, then moved to Albuquerque, NM when I was six so I consider myself a native New Mexican. It was an amazing place to grow up. I have four boys who are the center of my universe and a husband who is my very best friend. We moved to Las Vegas, NV in August of 2011 and now consider it home.

I started taking jewelry classes at Bead Jungle in April of 2018 and found a hobby I fell in love with. Everyone in the store was so welcoming and knowledgeable  that I found myself taking at least 2 classes a week. I became an employee of the store in June of 2021. My skills include wire work with some beading experience. I'm always open to new ideas and helping anyone learn. I'm also available to do repairs and one of a kind designs.
