SOURCING NEW BEADS FOR YOU!
See the online newsletter for pictures. We have thousands of exciting new beads for you! Some will be online soon, and other you can see at our 2024 bead fairs.
We have lots of 4mm, 6mm, 8mm round and large unusual-shaped semi precious beads – both matte and gloss. Prices in China are only up a little – except for pearls, which have rocked up 400% in four years.
Transport in China has gone from fast to amazingly-fast. Trains from Guangzhou to Kowloon Hong Kong (about 120-miles) took over 5-hours 30-years ago – now 53-mins, including a stop. And this trip only costs about £26! It feels like a time machine.
BRIGHTON GEM N BEAD FAIR REPORT
Another disaster! Although we enjoy going to Brighton, there was few visitors or sales. Next year we’ll only attend London, Kempton Park, and Harrogate Gem n Bead Fairs. Many of these mineral fairs are getting less-and-less bead buyers.
See us near Brighton in the spring at the beautiful village of Alfriston on Sunday 24th March 2024 at East Sussex Bead Fair. This spring our show there was super busy – so next year we’ll be bringing more staff to held with sales. Have a great day out exploring what the Daily Telegraph calls ‘The UK’s most beautiful village’. Have a meal in one of the old pubs and work it off along a river walk.

JEWELLERY IS THE IDEAL CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Jewellery is the ideal present for your loved ones. They’ll think of you whenever they wear it. Grab our budget ready-made necklaces, bracelets or rings – or there’s still time to make your own. Jewellery makes a lasting gift!
Since ancient times we’ve been decorating ourselves.
After we’ve taken care of food and shelter needs, safety and relations are our essentials. Once these too are achieved, we tend to crave self-fulfillment. Around this top tier of needs, we seek a feeling of accomplishment. Jewellery serves this yearning.
Other Benefits Of Jewellery:
- Makes you feel you belong to a particular group – social or cultural status.
- Shows wealth to attract love, respect or status.
- Self expression – sends a message to others, and perhaps to ourselves too.
- Makes you feel good – boosting self confidence.
- Our mind can change our behaviour: our behaviour can change our outcome!

CHRISTMAS BEADY POEM
"In workshops aglow with holiday cheer, jewellery makers gather near. With gems that sparkle, they create a delight. For Christmas, a season so merry and bright.
Their hands craft wonders, each bead, a small treasure. Intricate designs, a true artisan's pleasure. Earrings and bracelets, necklaces so fine. Their creations, gifts divine.
With garnets like holly and sapphires like ice. Their artistry shines, oh, it's quite nice. In their craft, they find a joy so profound. A Christmas blessing, their work renowned.
So here's to the jewellers, so skilled and deft. Bringing elegance to all, with nothing left. But gratitude for the beauty they share, Merry Christmas to all, with love and care."
BEADY JOKES FOR YOU
- Why did the bead go to therapy? It had too many issues to string together!
- What did the necklace say to the bracelet? "You're quite the charmer!"
- Why did the bead break up with the string? It felt too tied down!
- What's a bead's favourite type of music? Hip-hop – they love to pop and lock!
- Why did the bead enroll in school? To get a little "string" of education!
How do you make a small fortune with beads? Start with a large fortune and keep buying beads!I hope these brought a little bead-inspired humor to your day!
