Hi, I’m Marina, the CBO (Chief Beading Officer) of Made to Stack—formerly BeadsByME MKE, along with my son, Elliott.
Made to Stack started with something simple: beading together when Elliott was a toddler. What began as a creative way to spend time together quickly turned into a shared love of designing and handcrafting pieces we genuinely wanted to wear.
Today, we specialize in evil eye-inspired jewelry, putting our own playful, modern spin on a symbol traditionally associated with protection and positive energy. From colorful evil eyes and gemstones to freshwater pearls, gold-filled beads, charms, and unexpected accents, our bracelets are designed to be mixed, matched, and—of course —stacked.
And while the evil eye is at the heart of Made to Stack, it’s only part of what we create. Our collections include everything from classic everyday bracelets to gemstone pieces, travel-inspired designs, playful charms, and styles for women, men, and kids.
Each piece is thoughtfully handmade using high-quality materials, including 14k and 18k gold-plated and gold-filled beads, freshwater pearls, genuine gemstones, acrylic accents, and our signature evil eye designs.
We believe jewelry should feel personal, effortless, and a little bit fun. Wear one bracelet on its own, build a stack that tells your story, or mix your Made to Stack pieces with jewelry you already love. And if you have something specific in mind, we’re always happy to create a custom piece just for you.
Handmade with care. Designed to be lived in. Made to mean something.
Made to Stack.
