We use only quality materials...

All silver used is Sterling.
Gold is 14K and 14K filled. Generally, beaded jewelry is made with 14K gold-filled and pearl jewelry is designed with 14K (some exceptions may apply).
Semi Precious Gem Stones
Pink Jade, Blue Lace Agate, Rose Quartz, Tiger Eye, Onyx and Garnet to name a few.
Bali Beads
Balinese silversmiths individually handcraft sterling silver beads. Artisans spend years in apprenticeship before perfecting this traditional trade established in Bali, Indonesia.
Cloisonné
A craft started in Asia by hand placing thin metal bands into a pattern, which are filled with colored enamel paste, then fired and polished. A tedious work to produce a colorful delicate design.
Glass Beads
Venetian - ornate, colored glass made in Italy mostly in and around Venice.
Hand Blown - an ancient art of producing fine glass by blowing through a long pipe which holds molten glass at its end.
Cat Eye - fiber optic glass beads. Optical fibers have a highly transparent core, which allows the transmission of light through the transparent glass to bend and reflect the light.
Vintage - from a past era or age. At least fifty years old. These are great.
Crystal
Austrian and Czech crystal - offer a pure clear-cut for a vivid lustrous look.
Swarovski - The family owned business has been producing the world's finest crystal gemstones since 1895. Their reputation for the highest quality is exquisitely reflected by the striking sparkle and brilliance of each crystal. No other can compare! One of our favorite choices for designing jewelry that stands out above the rest.
