These are just tooooo scrummy, in a beautiful deep rich pink, these beautiful oval agate beads just gleam.

Banded Pink Agate
We’ve got them in purple too, the beads are 20mm long and come as a pack of 10 or more. Every string of beads is different and unique. We love them! Because they are gemstones they are heavy and cool to touch. Mix with silver in a necklace design!

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.

Semi-precious beads at Bluestreak beads
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.

Just in are some gorgeous new Turquoise beads, we have a pipe-bead, chunky nuggets and smooth ovals.

Large Turquoise nugget beads
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.
