Mr & Mrs Bead’s China Buying Trip
It’s fun, but hard work in China – but we love it! Together we can only manage to buy around 100 kgms of beads each day, because we visit literally hundreds of shops. Most days we walk over 12-miles, up and down floors, and round-and-round. We didn’t manage the tonne, but shipped back 33 boxes, just under 700 kgms.
After buying most of our beads, we took 3-days break in Yangshou – about 250-miles away. The first few times I visited there it used to take 28-hours boat plus 12-hours bus – now just 2.5-hours train and 1/2-hour drive. And the 150 mph trains cost just £14 each way!
Trains to Kowloon Hong Kong are even faster: just under 200-mph. I can remember when this trip took over 5-hours, now just 53-minutes, and that includes stops.
We had some great meals away. Everything tastes better once you leave the UK! See the online newsletter for pictures. All costs have increased, but still half UK price for like-for-like dishes.

WHY JEWELLERY IS THE PERFECT PRESENT
Jewellery has always been one of the most special and popular gifts. Because:
- It’s long-lasting and sentimental.
- Jewellery is unlikely to be brought by the wearer, because they don’t think they need it. Especially an expensive luxury design.
- It will always remind them of you and the occasion you bought it for them.
- It can be personalised with their birthstone, nationality or their initials.
- Clothes go out of style – but most jewellery never dates.
- Jewellery is great for all ages – your children to pensioners.
- Semi precious beads can be lucky, protective, and bring many metaphysical benefits.
- It’s light, transportable, and easily wrapped.
2024 Bead Fairs
Bead fairs are great fun and a good way to lean how to make jewellery chatting with other visitors. Plus, there’s nothing like actually seeing the beads ‘in the flesh’.
Checkout the latest semi precious from our recent shipment from China. We try to cover all over the UK: from Cornwall to Scotland, Wales to Norfolk, London, and all in-between! New shows and locations next year to be added soon.
