These freshwater pearl beads are a little offbeat and unusual, the peacock ones look rather like luscious blackberries.

Knitted Pearl Beads
Known as knitted pearl beads they look very smart threaded on to a fine snake chain and I have seen them used in some pretty spectacular earring making projects! So if you are looking for something a little different then these could be the beads for you.

We have got a fab new solid silver bracelet chain in stock. It is finished with a beautiful “I love you” tag & a nice solid toggle clasp, ready for you to add charms to.

Charm racelet with heart tag
Or wear it on its own, it is certainly pretty enough. I am going to make a few charms from venetian glass beads and silver findings to hang off it and send it as a present to someone extra special.

….are back in stock and up on the site. Apologies for the wait, I know we have had lots of enquiries for the beads, we normally keep lots of them on the shelves, they just got snaffled up quicker than we expected.

Silver plated filigree beads
These cute little filigree beads are so handy as spacers and are such a reasonable price I am not surprised they are so popular. Anyone with a back order will get them posted first class today. Sorry to keep you waiting.
The micro crimping pliers are back too, great for finishing jewellery making projects where a tiny little crimp is essential.

They are not cheap but they are exquisite. New on the jewellery design table at Bluestreak Beads are these gorgeous Swarovski Crystal rings.

Swarovski Fancy Ring
We like to use them as connectors in necklace stringing or as a the basis for a stunning long drop earring. So if you feel like splashing out on something really special try these swarovski rings in Crystal copper and plain crystal.

Thread those extra beads onto these nifty keyrings.
They make the perfect stocking filler (ooops sorry I know it’s a way away but some folks start the whole Christmas thing really early)
The keyrings cost from £3.70 each.
