I thought that Alphabet Beads were just a small blip on the beading radar (called BEADAR) when people started asking for them back in 2000.
Little did I know that whole industries were going to be launched around Alphabet Beads and Name Bracelets. Many competitors website have sprung carrying the items needed to create Mother Bracelets using Silver Alphabet Beads.
In 2002 I threw away $7,000 worth of alphabet beads. We sell over 40,000 of these beads each year so we discarded almost 20% of them. This is a reject rate higher than any other bead we sale.
I even had a contest for people to guess how many that was.. You can read about it here
