Semi-precious nugget beads for jewellery making

May 28th, 2010

Lots of you have been requesting that we stock more semi-precious beads, so I have been busy finding new lines which I hope you will enjoy using in your designs.

Pictured left are some of the  lovely new range we have in stock. Agate cut in a hexaganol rice shape in a minty green with white streaks comes in strings of 28 from only £8.50 a string.

The new range of semi precious chips are good quality decent sized chips on long strings of 36 inches. We have amethyst, chalk turquoise, dark citrine and carnelian among others.  If you look at the picture above  you will also see a fine smooth pipebead in turquiose and a pearly sodalite chip. So there is plenty to choose from and the range will be added to weekly.

Hopefully you will be inspired to get out your pliers, silver headpins and inspiration to get cracking making  some gorgeous new pieces of jewellery.

The nugget beads pictured left are 20-25 mm long and are supplied in strings of about 20.

Turquoise combines beautifully with Bali silver.   To cut costs in your jewellery making but still  get the same classic style use silver plated spacer beads for a similar look.
