November is a month of strong contrasts. We are now at the very end of summer and stepping fast into the dull winter season - at least here in northern Europe. The grey skies can be oppressive at times and people seek bright and colourful accessories to add a touch of warmth and happiness to their lives. We thought about this and ordered a huge stock of high quality Czech beads in many different colours and sizes. This time we also have special Czech fire-polished beads with fused colours, dual colours and hurricane glass beads - a true eye-catcher! Besides fire-polished glass beads we also received a good selection of Czech MC faceted round crystal beads and faceted bicone beads in various sizes and colours! Remember, we are a small business and the stock in our online shop is always very limited. On the other hand, we have been rated as being an extremely fast shipper with 5 star customer satisfaction! And with a 15% reduction in price for bulk orders in November and December, there has never been a better time to buy beads in Ireland.

 

              

 

 

Take a look at our new selection of Czech glass beads! And don't forget to visit our shop every now and then as we are continuously adding new beads, findings and beading components.

Dear customers, we recently had a person enquiring why a 1 mm wire would not fit through a 1 mm bead hole. We have investigated about it and the reason is very simple. Many beads are manufactured to the mm whereas wire tends to follow the American "gauge".

For instance, an 18 Ga wire is actually 1.02 mm and a 20 Ga wire is 0.81 mm. These wires are still sold as 1 mm and 0.8 mm wire although they are actually thicker. Wax cord is generally also much thicker than what is stated because the stated thickness is in compressed state.

 

On the other hand, many beads are hand-made and their shape and holes are not always perfect. Some beads might also have residues inside, which are generally easy to remove with a pin or a bead reamer.

 

Therefore when you order beads make sure that the bead hole is somewhat wider than the wire and much wider than cord! If you are unsure, please ask us BEFORE you order to avoid disappointments!
