Take our tip: after entering, head left to the furthest from the door, then slowly make your way round checking before busying anything. You can find us on the far left. We believe we have the largest selection of semi precious beads there – and at the best prices.
Gather Your Materials
For November, stones like citrine, topaz, or smoky quartz, harmonize with the month’s rich colours. You’ll also need jewellery wire, clasps, crimps, pliers, and any additional decorative elements you desire.
Design and Sketch
Sketch out your ideas. Decide what you want to create—necklaces, bracelets, or earrings. The warm and wry essence of November can be embodied in asymmetrical designs or mix-and-match pieces, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
Select Your Semi-Precious Beads
Citrine’s sunny yellow, is believed to bring success and prosperity, making it an excellent choice. Topaz and smoky quartz add a touch of elegance, reflecting the shifting colours of autumn leaves. Choose beads that speak to you personally and fit your design.
Stringing and Assembling
Once you’ve chosen your beads, start stringing them onto your wire. The order and pattern are entirely up to you. For a playful and wry twist, consider mixing different beads and adding irregularities in your design. These unexpected touches can make your jewellery more unique.
Secure with Care
Use crimps to secure your beads in place, and attach clasps to finish your piece. Be sure to use pliers to ensure everything is tightly fastened.
Final Touches
Now, it’s time to add any decorative elements or charms that complement your semi-precious beads. This is where your creativity can shine. Perhaps a leaf charm to symbolize autumn or a sun charm for the bright November days. Attach these with care, ensuring they enhance the overall look.
Admire Your Creation
Take a moment to appreciate the unique piece you’ve crafted. Whether it’s a gift or an addition to your personal collection, it’s a reflection of your creativity and the essence of the season. November’s a perfect way to celebrate this time of year and the rich, dynamic colours that accompany it.

Newton Abbot Gem n Bead Fair
Newton Abbot was a record for us – a record low for a Gem n Bead Fair! A total disaster. Three full days work, for less than a single hour profit at some of our own shows – and it’s 6-hours drive each way. Very few visitors and very few sales.
We love it in Devon, but we won’t be going back to this one. However, we had a good time in the evening with BeadBuyer in the Ship Inn, Teignmouth – and we looked at a few halls for our own show in North East Devon for next year. Gem n Bead Fairs are attracting less bead buyers these days.
In medication it helps re-establish the link between your conscious and subconscious. If you’re feeling down, hold citrine to lift your spirit. It’s also good at healing the body and communication. Citrine gives warm energy, promotes optimism, and attracts abundance.
Citrine removes negative energy, and in ancient times it was carried as a protection against snake venom and evil thoughts. Known as a “merchants’ stone”, placed in the cash register to acquire and keep wealth. Citrine corresponds to signs of Gemini, Aries, Libra, and Leo. Although the darker orange colours of citrine, have generally been the most valued – today people prefer the bright lemony shades which mix better with pastel colours.
Some call citrine topaz quartz – referring to the colour, which is similar to topaz. Since topaz is a separate mineral, this is incorrect. As long as citrine is protected from prolonged exposure to light or heat, it will last for years, and it never requires cleansing.

Wear topaz only if you wish to be clear-sighted: legend has it that it dispels all enchantment and helps to improve eyesight as well! The ancient Greeks believed that it increased strength and can make its wearer invisible. Topaz was also said to change colour in the presence of poison. Its mystical curative powers waxed and waned with the phases of the moon: it was said to cure insomnia, asthma, and hemorrhages. Brown, yellow, orange, sherry, red and pink topaz is found in Brazil and Sri Lanka. Pink topaz is found in Pakistan and Russia. Today we also have blue topaz, which has a blue colour created by irradiation.
In early 1998, a new type of enhanced topaz made its appearance, the surface-enhanced topaz, with colours described as blue to greenish-blue or emerald green. Topaz is a very hard gemstone but it can be split with a single blow – therefore, protect from hard knocks.
