  • After all of the hurricanes we've had here in central Florida we no longer panic, they have just become a big nuisance. I mean how many times can you get ice, or put out sandbags. Sure we got a lot of rain and wind, but in the end it is just boring setting at home watching the weather channel, wondering how long before the lights go out.

    I finally got around to added new products on the website, trying to start gearing up for Christmas. I just hope that I can put up some gutters before the next storm.

    New Findings

    Necklace and Chandelier Earring Findings

    We have a new line of Sterling Silver and Vermeil findings in beautiful Art Deco-inspired motifs. These are perfect for the long shoulder duster earrings, and make a nice focal point for a necklace, charm holders or a mini pendant.

    Many department stores and bridge jewelry buyers have said that sales of earrings in 2004 were as much as 60 percent of their total jewelry sales. According to an interview in Accessories Magazine many expect that the sales of earrings will increase.

    New Findings

    Swarovski Alexandrite
    Swarovski Color Change Alexandrite -

    I would recommend viewing these in a variety of different light sources before planning a design as the color change can be quite dramatic. These change from - From Lavender to Light Blue in different lights

    And of course we have expanded our selection of the color change Cantaloupe .

    Breast Cancer Awareness

    5˝mm Greek Alphabet Beads
    We now have in stock a full line of 5˝mm Sterling Silver Greek Alphabet Beads.

    We've finally started getting enough breaks on our silver to lower the prices on most of our Alphabet beads. The quality is better so we can still hand select the beads without as much waste. I'm not actually losing money on these.

    In 2002 I threw away $7,000 worth of alphabet beads. We sold over 40,000 of these beads last year so we discarded almost 20% of them. This is a reject rate higher than any other bead we sale. I had a contest for people to guess how many that was

    If you have been visiting my website more than a couple of months then you know how I feel about Alphabet Beads. I hate them / I love them.
