About Us
Cindy Friedman, owner of MoonRise Bead Company, is a resident of Murrysville. Before the bead shop came to be, Cindy owned and operated several gourmet soft pretzel stores throughout the Greater Pittsburgh Area including concessions at the two major amphitheaters and three area malls. Her special pretzel recipe developed for CK’s Pretzel Works has delighted thousands of people over the last sixteen years and she has enjoyed interacting with so many different people from all walks of life and sharing their conversations and experiences.
With the pretzel business winding down, Cindy is grateful for the opportunity to bring another source of excitement and creativity to you in the form of beads and jewelry making. While she has always had an affinity for artistic endeavors over the years, the creation of MoonRise Bead Company has enabled her to combine her love and talent for jewelry design and consultation with her passion for business.
Cindy looks forward to helping you reconnect with your creative side when you visit MoonRise Bead Company, “where creativity shines”.
