Sterling Silver, 14 kt. Gold-fill, and Vermeil (Heavy gold-plate over Sterling) -  Beads & findings, including Ear- threaders & Chandelier components, crimps & crimp covers, head & eye pins, ear wires, jump rings, clasps for single & multi-strands, etc., etc...; also Sterling chains in finished lengths (16", 18", 20", 24")

Titanium & Niobium - I have Titanium (Ti) ear wires & post earrings. They are a matte silver-gray and are hypo-allergenic, surgical implant grade metal, which is recommended for those of you with metal sensitivities. Niobium (Nb) (Currently out-of-stock) is also hypo-allergenic, and comes in a variety of anodized colors, including blues, green, pink, purple, yellow, and a very rich bronze tone. The anodizing (coloring) does not affect the hypo-allergenic property, and greatly expands your design pallette. I stock ear wires, head & eye pins, & jump rings in 4, 5, and 6 mm. Swarovski crystalsI stock mostly 4 mm bicones, but have a few other sizes & shapes, including small faceted octagons & points for hanging.


Glass strands -  Czech, including one of my favorites, Cathedral beads, as well as round, fire-polished (faceted), & "dagger" beads; crystal cubes; fiber-optic Cat's eye (it's always good to get more fiber); millefiori in flat squares, ovals, & rounds; & some Chinese glass shapes (SEE THE RED-TAG BASKET AT ONLY $3.00 per STRAND!), including cubes, faceted, & Lampworked. Strands start at $1.95 Regular retail price. Also, choose the mix-and-match India glass beads in a wide array of shapes, sizes, & colors, sold by the gram - buy one, or buy a bag full! And, because sometimes it's all you need, I've put together "just a pinch" of assorted seed beads in teeny bags (about 20" strung) for only 35 cents!
