Our Product Story
Glass beads have been made for about 9,000 years. They come in all shapes, colors, finishes, appearances. For most of their history, glass beads were more than a craft, more than an art. They were equivalent to money, and were traded.
Sterling silver is a white, highly reflective precious metal composed of 925 parts of pure silver and 75 parts alloy, usually copper. Copper provides the silver with sufficient hardness and wearing qualities, as pure silver is sometimes considered too soft to be used or worn everyday. Sterling silver is used in a wide variety of jewelry for a beautiful polished look.
Pewter is a blue-grey metal alloy of tin, traditionally with lead, but in modern times, it is most often alloyed with copper, antimony or bismuth. The use of pewter was common from the Middle Ages until glass-making became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, and glass objects replaced pewter in everyday life.
