We have many new pretty things for you to have a peek at. Check out the vintage seed beads. More have been added. By the way, many of them are actually antique. The word has been getting out that we have under priced these seed beads, so get them while you can. In the New arrivals section you will find, clasps in vermeil, vintage cab clasps, Swarovski crystal clasp designs and other new clasps, some really nice Amethyst and Green Turquoise that are in limited supply, closeout items and more. Many items will be added to the website this week so check back frequently. New chain styles and Bails have been added to the Findings Section. As a matter of fact, we have added the dangle earing design pictured that has a materials list in the Chain Section of the site. You can also purchase the earings through the Jewelry Designs section of the website if you prefer not to make them yourself. We will be adding more jewelry designs throughout the site for your amusement.
