Earth’s Jewels Gift Tags

When you finish a pretty piece of semi-precious jewelry, it would be wonderful if the recipient could learn more about the stones featured.

The inclusion of a card about the stones used is both informative and fun to read.

We have a set of gift cards for our Earth’s Jewels collection.

Our Fiber Craft Beads!

7.5mm Beads – We Call Them Fiber Craft Beads

Knitting and crocheting with beads has become very popular.  This bead has a hole large enough to work beautifully with yarns and other thick stringing materials.  This special large size glass bead is difficult to make.  The Czech glass makers perfected the process to make this beautiful bead.

Hello friends,

It took some tech support sleuthing to discover and delete the hack that was made to our blog.  We truly apologize for the blog posts it generated.

This was most frustrating for us too and it has become a constant battle.  By way of example, I just deleted over 30,000 messages that we caught in our anti-spam program before this hack.  For companies everywhere, it is a challenge to continually monitor and protect our websites.

Thank you for your patience.

Ginkgo Leaf Bead Also Known as Ginko

Introducing the Ginkgo Leaf Bead.
It is a two-hole bead.
7.54 x 3.50 x 7.35mm
Manufactured by the same company that created the SuperDuo!
The Ginkgo Leaf Bead will be on our website shortly. We wanted to give our customers a few days notice as you plan out your next order.
There are 42 wonderful colors to look forward to!
The fan shape is distinctive and fresh.
Often misspelled Ginko, this beautiful leaf deserves its day in the sun!
Inspired by the natural curves of the ginkgo leaf, the Ginkgo Leaf Bead provides an elegant shape for your beaded designs. The Ginkgo has two parallel holes that make the beads fit together perfectly side by side and also pairs well with other bead shapes.
We can’t wait to see what designers create with it and look forward to seeing the Ginkgo Leaf bead being incorporated with other beads.
This is the first example of many!  We’ll have a step by step to share with you in a day or two.
