Gina McCool is the artist behind KBeau. She is primarily a self taught jewelry designer and jewelry maker. She began making necklaces with beads, then semi-precious stones, pearls, crystals and sterling silver caught her fancy. Soon people were asking to buy her work.

She named her jewelry business KBeau which comes from a nickname her father has had since he was a boy. Gina is originally from Arkansas. She started her jewelry business while living in New York City, and has since moved to Austin, Texas. Now she has fans across the country. She can be contacted at info@kbeau.com.
