There has been an abundance of exciting bead and jewellery books published over the last few months. Our particular favourites are Swarovski's summer inspired booklet as pictured; a bargain at only £3.95, Metalwork Jewelry by Linda Peterson which features many Steampunk inspired pieces, Metal Clay & Mixed Media Jewelry, Beaded Macrame Jewelry using fine cords and shimmering beads to make elegant modern pieces and Button Jewellery by Marrianne Mercer which contains 20 fantastic designs all using buttons! 

Available in 6, 8 & 10mm and a range of 12 colours, click here to view, these versatile beads will add a bit of subtle sparkle to any design. They are made by plunging hot beads into water so the interior glass fractures, they are then fire polished to ensure the outside remains smooth.

We have had an eclectic collection of original & authentic vintage Swarovski in the shop for a while. They are popular one off items that add a bit of sparkle to a special piece of jewellery & so that our online customers don't miss out we are adding them to the website. Ideal for steampunk and vintage inspired pieces they add a unique quality to designs. Click here to view the start of our range!
