As the seasons start to change here in Victoria, it's fast becoming "the time to bead", sitting inside out of the cold & wild weather! This month we have a great special, with pendants at fabulous prices (might be time to grab that special pendant you've been eyeing off!). I've been madly cataloguing our new metal pendants (that are part of the sale too). And we have news of the latest shipment - read on to find out more!

Our large range of pendants (including silver, gemstone, glass & metal) are currently on sale: were $0.50 to $110 now 60% off original prices (excludes products already on sale).  Sale prices are available online and instore, until the 31st May.

Also on sale:

• CLEARANCE charms at great prices (online only)
• select glass crystal strands SALE $1 - $5.50 (online only)

• select base metal chain SALE $1 (online & instore)

We have a huge range of base metal pendants that have made their way onto the website and out into the shops, including coins, hearts and more. Even better, they are included in this months special, so with prices as low as $0.20 and Mother's Day just around the corner, it's the perfect time to grab a bargain!
