UNDERSTANDING OUR PRICES

At a quick glance, you might assume that we are just selling beads on a string.  But if you take a little time and look a little closer you will uncover more.  We don't just sell cheap beads on a cheap string.  We use quality materials to create quality energetic pieces.

Our beads are not made of plastic or acrylic.  We typically use high quality glass seed beads that are produced in the Europe and Japan.  Our beads do not or fade over time.  Our beads are also neat & uniform which help create a beautiful aesthetically pleasing strand that doesn't scratch the wearer or snag their delicate clothing throughout the day.

We also use stainless steel (free of zinc alloy and nickel), precious metals, natural gemstones, and real gold-filled beads to accent our pieces.  

In addition to quality beads, we use quality thread that is highly durable, fray-resistant, and moisture repellent in comparison to the common cotton thread that most beaders use.

We use our positive intent to handcraft all of our products locally (not imported from china or purchased wholesale.)  Our prices are fair and are calculated based on the market, material, time, and experience used to make each piece.

It is perfectly fine to purchase a lowly priced waistbead strand elsewhere, but keep in mind, that you will always get what you pay for.
