However, it does not include any net priced or closeout items. Don’t forget that you have to ask for the special to receive the special.
It shouldn’t surprise me that Kevin’s Aunt Glenda has finished her Christmas shopping already! Have you finished your holiday shopping? Have you even started? Me either. . . . . . but we can help you with that. If you have a special bead buddy to buy for, why not give a Gift Certificate from A Grain of Sand. Take the guess work out of shopping and give them what they really want. . . .more BEADS! By the way, we have some other vintage lucite beads on sale - A whole selection of vintage German lucite is on sale at 20% off that is featured in the photo to the right! Click on the link and check out all of those vintage beauties. This sale is for a limited time.

Newsflash - Sterling Silver is on the rise!!!!! Really . . . . .its been going up like crazy and predictions are that they may continue going up. So . . . .we have stocked up and so should you. Check out our sterling silver clasp and bead lots in the closeout section. Actually, all the sterling silver beads on our website are a steal of a deal for todays market price, so now is the time to buy those silver items you have been wishing for. We have also added many new styles of copper beads. Copper beads are really in style and very affordable. Copper beads are a fraction of the price of sterling beads which is an added bonus.

New Finds Check out the top quality Chrysoprase that has just come in. Australian chrysoprase beads, lemon chrysoprase beads, magnesite chrysoprase beads in a variety of shapes and sizes. Septaria beads, fossil coral beads and kyanite head drilled and carved leaves have come in. More Kyanite and some really nice tourmaline that are in the Rare & Unusual section. The new Swarovski Crystal Fall 2007 colors are in! Yep, we have the new colors - palace green opal and light grey opal. And we have just received the new "Twist" shape as well. More arriving daily, as usual! If you havn’t seen our new stock of old vintage faux pearls , you will most certainly want to. You will be amazed at the quality and fantastic prices!!!
