These adorable fruit beads are made of Czech glass. Carmen Miranda would have loved these beads!

For hundreds of years the look – and feel – of glass beads has fascinated people around the world. We have chosen to carry Czech glass, which seems to be more beautiful with each shipment. Our specialty is leaves: all sizes, colors, and shapes. Our other emphasis is bead mixes, many of which are custom. We really like what can’t be found easily
elsewhere.

Don’t forget to look at the fruit beads, which are great fun in making a Carmen Miranda piece of jewelry. Our interest in Kumihimo has us carrying a wide selection of 4m and 6m fire polish beads, a style that is classic. The colors and finishes seem to be changing constantly.

And perhaps what is more is exciting is that we carry what happens to strike our fancy. We shop with many vendors to bring you what we believe is a spectacular selection. If there is something you want and don’t see, please contact us. We may well have it but simply haven’t gotten it posted – yet.
