About Tikas Trinkets
Thank you for visiting my site. I’ve been making jewelry since the 90s. I’ve sold at craft fairs, street shows, and on Etsy. Now I wanted to launch my own website.
Marianne's Story
Building the Trust Bridge
Here you’ll find beaded decorations for your wrists, neck and ears. I’ve taken my bead work a little further with the evolution of my “Abundance Wands”. The materials I use are found around my property or on hikes, and I repurpose old broken jewelry, random beads, pearls, stones, and crystals.
From Sugarloaf to the World
The Story of Tika’s Trinkets
The journey of Tika’s Trinkets began in the tranquil, high-country environment of Sugarloaf and Big Bear Lake, California. Founded by artisan Marianne Lins, the brand was born from a lifelong fascination with the tactile beauty of beads, baubles, and the transformative power of the handmade. What started as a local mountain boutique has expanded into a global creative presence, shipping custom-crafted treasures to collectors as far away as Australia. Marianne’s work is characterized by a "Bohemian Modernist" aesthetic—a blend of playful whimsy and technical precision. Whether she is meticulously wire-wrapping a gemstone or selecting the perfect 16 pt gloss stock for a new bookmark design, her process is guided by a commitment to quality and a deep respect for the materials she uses.
