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

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.

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.
