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.

Wow! It’s been over a month since I updated this blog…..and the reason is that we have been moving to a lovely new business unit with tons more space for all of our fabulous beads and jewellery making kit!
There was so much to do getting it ready and moving all of our millions of beads that we’ve had little time for other stuff but I am back now and have just put some new stock on the site. There will be lots more coming on over the next few weeks. It’s been building up here waiting for our great big new space to be ready.
Pictures to follow very soon.
Have a great weekend everyone
