With the holidays coming up you are certain to hear “What would you like?”. How about a gift certificate to your favorite local bead store! They don’t even have to leave the house to buy one as we now have them for sale on our website. For more information check out the listing on our site here. Gift Certificates

These are for in-store spending only but can be used on anything. The buyer can choose to have the GC mailed to them to give as a gift or we can mail it to whomever they would like. We will in the future have online GC available that can be redeemed online but were not there yet.

If you have any questions ask away!

Swarovski has come out with new colors and as always they are beautiful. The new colors are Sunflower, Crystal Silver Night and a new pearl color Crystal Light Gold.

Sunflower: This color is a combination of Light Topaz and Citrine. As we all know yellow is one of the hardest colors to find in the bead world and this one is really nice.

Crystal Silver Night: We were all disappointed when Swarovski discontinued the Black Diamond but they have made up for that with the Silver Night. When you need a touch of color but not as bold as black turn to Crystal Silver Night.

Crystal Light Gold: Swarovski Pearls are the best imitation pearls on the market. They are made from glass and surround Swarovski Crystal. They are guaranteed to never peel or chip and they warm on your skin like real pearls. The Light Gold color is a great addition to the Pearl collection.

These new colors are not yet available and will be shipping withing the next month or so BUT you can come check out some samples at the store!
