We recently connected with Latecea Brock and have shared our conversation below.

Latecea, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?

Our Business name was purely God Given. Meaning, there was no brainstorming session writing down multiple variations of a possible business name. I was literally at my corporate job at the time and God dropped the name in my spirit. Because we are believers we know that everything we are blessed to do and not to do is all because of God’s grace his unmerited favor. So we are Beaded by his Grace because all of our pieces are made with love, His Grace and the most purest intentions of the heart.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Let’s start by saying Beaded By His Grace LLC was never intended to be a business. It was only a hobby that I enjoyed to create unique jewelry for myself.

BUT GOD had other plans and it was launched in October 2019, But officially Birthed in June 2020 when my passion and purpose collided. During this time I was hospitalized for 2 weeks for a hole in my colon (diverticulitis) and infection in my body. My white blood cell count was 21 when it should have been less than 10. I was on a no food and no drink restriction during my stay and was hooked up to a liquid IV for nutrition and I was only allowed a shot glass size of water to take Tylenol every 6 hrs.

Also, due to the pandemic I wasn’t allowed visitors so I was completely isolated. It was during this time of purging and solitude that God spoke clearly the vision for my business to me and I accepted it. So, from the hospital bed, chair or wherever I could comfortably sit or lay down I built my website on my cell phone with all the pictures of products I had on hand that I made from 2019 to 2020.

Once I was released from the hospital, I made minor modifications on the website from my computer and officially Launched our a online store. The first year we sold a little over 3k and the second year once the world started to reopen we begin to participate in pop-up shops vendor events and festivals and our sales boosted beyond my wildest imagination to 21k. This is a testimony of God’s word/ scripture Ephesians 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” And I am humbled and grateful.

So through our personal story of perseverance and determination Beaded By His Grace, LLC is a luxury Gemstone and Crystal beaded jewelry brand for men and women that creates unique one of a kind pieces to inspire the beauty, Grace and God within you.

Currently we offer bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings. And plan to expand our product offerings in the future. We specialize in products focusing on Self-Love and God Love as we like to offer our target audience reminders of who we are and whose we are! And our Affirmations and God-Firmations collections provide uplifting messages of hope, self love, motivation, faith, Godly love and so much more!

We’d really appreciate if you could talk to us about how you figured out the manufacturing process.

All of our jewelry products are solely manufactured by hand and by the owner and jewelry designer during our inspiration/therapy sessions as we have coined the phrase on social media.

Manufacturing our jewelry started out as a hobby so we had a small foundation on how to create our products however, as it morphed into a business we began to perfect our technique to develop a high quality, sturdy, store ready, luxury product.

Lessons we have learned along the way are to never stop learning, stay up to date on your craft, strategically source your supplies and learn new techniques.

What’s been the best source of new clients for you?

The best source for new clients for us has been word of mouth, festivals and conferences, and Social Media.

WOM: If people love your products and service they will tell their entire world all about it‼️

F&C: Big events are a way to put your brand in the room with a large number of potential clients! Whether they purchase that day or take a business card for later. Just by being in the room my business is exposed to many consumers.

SM: Is how we got our start, before were a business people wanted to purchase our items and once it became a business we leveraged several social media platforms to gather new clients.
