FINDINGS |
| |
|
|
 |
|
It is not possible to be major player in the bead business without offering many hundreds of kinds of findings. Accordingly, we dedicate about twenty percent of our 4,500-square-foot store to this important category. Here you see a snapshot of one of our many displays of bagged findings, most of them priced at just 99¢. We also maintain a "Big Users" department where many of our best-selling findings are displayed in larger bulk quantities at significant savings.

Here is a pic of one of our endcap displays which brings together our many varieties of headpins. We have similar setups for eyepins, jump and spring rings, earring parts, clasps, spacers, connectors, etc. Most of our findings are base-metal or lead-free pewter, but we also carry the TierraCast line as well as many numbers in sterling silver and 14k gold-filled. |

We offer many hundreds of strands of freshwater pearls, both natural-colored
and dyed. All four sides of this display are used to show the immense variety
of these lovely beads. Prices start at just $2.99 per sixteen-inch strand.
And speaking of pearls... we offer a strand as a gift (value$5) to all customers
visiting our shop for the first time. Just tell any one of our associates that you
are a first-timer, and we'll fetch the basket for your choice of these beauties

In addition to our line of Swarovski glass pearls, we also feature an excellent range of glass pearls manufactured in China. Many of our customers regard these as highly as those from Austria, and appreciate their considerably lower prices. They are offered in sizes ranging from 4mm to 16mm, and in
a wide assortment of popular colors. |

METAL CHAINS |
| |
|
|
 |
|
We enjoy a big business in chain, and carry more that one-hundred different styles. Most of them are made of brass for its natural strength, then electro-plated in many shadings of gold, silver, copper, brass, and black. Chain is sold by the foot, with three prices for the differing weights and styles: 99¢ for the lighter numbers, $1.99 for our best sellers, and $2.99 for the fanciest styles. |

Here is a closeup of our midpriced styles, which are the most popular sellers. If you use chain in your designs, we are sure to have one or more which will fit the bill. |
