Debby Arem has established herself as a world-renowned jewelry and accessory designer. Born in Providence, R.I., she received a B.A. in Fine Arts from American University in Washington, D.C. where she perfected her skills as a silk screen artist. Silk screening is a challenging craft that involves intricate layering of separately printed and colored design elements.

Years later, this ability to layer colors and combine textures in unique ways became instrumental when in 1982, Debby began designing semiprecious beaded jewelry that was sold under the trade name BEADLES. All BEADLES necklaces are hand knotted and sold online under the name FOREVER IN STYLE. The FOREVER IN STYLE line also features earrings , bracelets and fan pulls – all made with vintage beads and vintage components.

Debby and her husband traveled to the Far East, Middle East, Africa, and Europe acquiring an enormous palette of beads and findings. Numerous buying trips enabled her to create a huge and diverse catalog of unique handmade jewelry. These designs, utilizing the many hundreds of different materials at her fingertips, rapidly set her wearable art apart from other bead artists.

In 1992 Debby's career branched out and, with her husband Joel, she created another line: THREE RING CIRCUITS (3RC). This line features Jewelry, " Green" Office Products and Home Decor items that are made from recycled circuit boards ( PCBs ) and ' found objects ' as the main components. THREE RING CIRCUITS (3RC) has also achieved national prominence.

Once again, her unique ability to use color and textured layers allowed her to create a truly new and different form of wearable art and "green" home and office accessories long before there was a global movement to recycle and save our environment.
