beads ... from around the world..

Going home today I was listening to a Nelly Furtado song.  Though it is not my usual style of music I enjoyed this tune.. and then it came to me.  It was the beat in the song that I liked. It was Moroccan / Arabic based.  When I was younger I was fortunate enough to travel to many countries.  Morocco was  one place I will never forget.  The music had me remember the people, smells, the weather, the markets... The many markets!  All  the different items that were available in the streets of Morocco and beads, beads, beads.  I knew what I was going to write about today!

The beads in our store are special.  We do not order them from a catalog or from local vendors.  We travel around the world to various countries.  There, we check for quality not quantity for price.  We inspect color composition and depth, clarity, size, cut and occlusions.  We may buy as few as three strands or as many as 100 +.  This is usually reflected in price.  We  make special connections with the people that work on our beads and at times we are able to get to see and buy beads that may not be available to other vendors. Next time around, the same beads may not be available or only  in reduced quality.  In that case, we will not purchase this item but discover a new fantastic strand of beads.  This makes our store special.  By the time you purchase our beads, and compose your master piece, the beads already tell a story.  The connection between the history of  that bead and its selection enhance your beading projects.  If you do believe in the natural energy in things, our beads come loaded with positive energy and wonderful memories of the places we traveled to.

Because we go the distance and travel the miles to bring you the best in beads we can find, we will not reveal our sources.  We wish you all the best and hope you enjoy your journey to find the best beads.  It is the only and best way to shop for beads and  it makes your beading project(s) truly one of a kind.
