Meet the owner

Jewelry by Lady Unique, also known as Unique Beads, is owned and operated by me — Akita Taylor, AKA Lady Unique.

I am a self-taught beader who began creating jewelry in October 2009. What started with a small bead kit from Michaels quickly became a passion that changed my life.

I began by making bracelets for family, friends, and coworkers — and instantly fell in love with the endless possibilities of colors, textures, and design combinations. (I’m definitely a color person!) What started as experimentation turned into dedication. After a year of refining my craft and researching higher-quality materials, Unique Beads officially stepped into the bead world in 2011.

Every piece — whether gold, silver, or rose gold — is handmade to order. Because of this, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. I believe jewelry should feel personal. Similar in style? Yes. Identical? Never. Every customer deserves something truly unique.

My journey has been incredible — filled with growth, lessons, trial and error, and beautiful connections. In 2019, I made the bold decision to go full-time with my business, turning my passion into my career.

Since then, I’ve expanded beyond creating jewelry. I now offer:

• Hands-on jewelry training classes for aspiring beaders

• Opportunities for those who want to start their own jewelry line

• Wholesale inventory for resellers and business owners

Whether you’re shopping for a timeless piece or ready to step into your own jewelry journey, you’re in the right place.

Thank you for supporting handmade, passion-driven jewelry — created with intention, precision, and love.
