  • Dear Jerry,

    The price of silver after reaching a five-year high has finally started to go back down. How long before we start to see this reflected in the price of silver findings is anybody's guess. We have kept the prices steady on our website, we were just making less and less profit on each item.

    I do not understand enough about economics to know what forces drive the price of Gold and Silver. I just have to assume it is supply and demand, factored against the current inflation rate and the value of the dollar against world currency.

    PS Happy Mother's Day--

    14 Karat Gold.

    We have started introducing a line of 14kt beads and findings at a time when Gold is at a historic high, but it seems to be creeping down in price. Check back often I plan to have the prices always reflect what we are paying for our Gold products.

    Nothing less than 10-karat gold can be legally marked or sold as gold jewelry in the United States. The legal requirements for minimum gold content vary widely country-by-country (9 Karat is popular in Britain, while in France, Italy and Switzerland, 18 karat is the lowest permissible standard to be called gold).

    Precious metal beads in all sizes should be a staple in every jewelry designer's inventory.

    We will be expanding this line and adding new products as they come in.

    Beaded Sandals
    Recently a friend of mine was looking for something to sell on the Internet but then again isn't everyone? He wanted something that was easy and cheap to make, that everybody wanted and that he could sell for a huge profit. Okay that was little over the top, but that pretty much summed up his request.

    After talking to him and his wife, they decided on modifying footwear, especially sandals. She is from South America and cannot understand why everyone wears closed toe shoes here in the States, from what I gather most of the people in Ecuador wear Flip-Flops most of the time.

    It is remarkable what can be fashioned with a few beads and some ribbon sew onto a Dr. Scholl's Sandal.

    Swarovski Pages
    I have created a Swarovski Information Page this give you better information on Swarovski colors, coatings and shapes.

    I also give out information on what is selling in Swarovski. I am hoping that sales information on Swarovski Crystals will help you plan your purchases. I mean if you know what everybody else is buying maybe you should buy it too.

    New Products...
    It seems like Swarovski has become the most popular group of items that we sell, I am glad to see the Alphabet bead craze is dying down. We have been spending a great deal of time and money upgrading our Swarovski lines of Crystal beads. So much, so that I have been ignoring other things, we will be putting a new group of Peruvian Ceramic Beads on the web soon, plus we are getting new charms and 14-k Gold beads and findings.

    New colors, New products, New Shapes.

    Fox Suede
    This story is so stupid that I just have to tell it.

    I was talking to a Wholesaler about some of the Suede cord that they were carrying I asked "Is this real Suede" She said "It's Fox Suede" Okay I don't like to be a total idiot so I said "Oh" and put it down.

    All day long, I was thinking that I could not imagine that Foxes were so common that they would be using their pelts to make suede. So that I night I was telling my wife about this new "Fox Suede" and it hit me she had said "Faux Suede"

    So I really had to laugh at myself over this, I guess I had not asked the vendor enough questions. I should have asked the vendor a few more questions, but I had not wanted to commit a Fox Paws, get it "Faux Pas"
