Issue Three
3rd May 2008
Greetings!
Welcome to our May newsletter, we have had a very hectic month but still have some exciting new additions to our website. This month sees the launch of our eagerly anticipated crystal mix packs, new Swarovski beads & new tools. We've also started adding Swarovski inspiration guides to give you some new ideas! Which may even come in handy with our NEW COMPETITION!
 
Swarovski Twist Beads

We have added crystal twist beads to our range to complement the popular twist pendants. They are  probably best described as slightly twisted multi-faceted discs. At 14mm diameter they make excellent focal beads without being too large to use for earrings. We have them in Jet plus 3 crystal effects; moonlight, golden shadow & copper.

Magical Crimp Pliers
magical crimpers
These amazing pliers are used to transform a sterling silver or gold-filled tubular crimp into a neat round bead. This creates a very professional look to the end of necklaces & bracelets. We have both of the sizes of magical crimpers in stock. The purple pair is designed for use with 0.019" flexible wire (they also work with 0.018" beadalon) whereas the green pair are designed for 0.014-0.015".

Swarovski Crystal Mixes

After several months of planning we are very proud to launch our crystal mix packs! We have 12 colour themes available, each containing a mixture of beads, pearls & pendants in a variety of colours, shapes & sizes. With 5-10 different colours and 4-9 different shapes in each mix they provide a fantastic introduction to our Swarovski range. These packs make beautiful presents, each held in a reusable box with sufficient crystals to make a necklace, bracelet & pair of earrings with the addition of just a few findings.

Just added NEW SWAROVSKI COLOURS mocca, sand opal & silk

Swarovski Inspiration Guides
Swarovski Beaded Twist Pendant
Six times a year Swarovski produce inspiration guides, each guide contains several designs using some of Swarovski's newest components and colours along with old favourites like bicones and pearls. One design from each guide features step by step instructions.

The beaded twist pendant shown above is from Swarovski's 'Love is in the Air' guide. We will be adding to these guides on a regular basis. http://www.mailorder-beads.co.uk/swar-inspiration.html

tilly's chainmaille bracelet
New to the gallery page this month is this beautiful chainmaille bracelet made by Tilly Braithwaite. We especially like the addition of the buttons!

To say thank you to the customers who have emailed pictures of their beadwork and to encourage more of you to show us your work we have decided to introduce a competition. The most popular submission each quarter (as judged by the bead shop staff) will receive a £10 gift voucher. This competition is open to everyone except friends and family of bead shop employees. Multiple submissions from the same person are fine too! Please email photographs to hana@mailorder-beads.co.uk
