Carnelian comes in many shapes and shades. There are very light varieties, an amber-like, deep orange color and the darkest burnt orange color. Depending on tastes and designs, these beads are very much in demand, especially in shapes which are VERY HARD TO ACQUIRE. Naturally, we have amassed a small stash to share with a few of our closest friends..

Here is the current list of what we have in stock: we have pics of some items for now (it’s on our To-Do list!), but if there’s anything that especially appeals, let us know and we’ll see if it can fall on the scanner… 🙂

Now the workshops given by a leading international bead designer are available in book and video formats! Learn all about the tools, materials and techniques to turn wire and beads into fabulous jewelry.

The author, Kate Drew-Wilkinson says “It became obvious, when I started giving classes in wire work, how many people needed basic information – and how little of it was available. There are many books on beaded earrings, and how to string necklaces, but almost nothing on basic wire work. If this book had been available when I began, my journey of discovery would have been a lot easier. On looking closely at bead jewelry available today, I am astonished at the diversity and power of much of the work. But, on closer inspection, I can see only too often where the piece will soon break, or how inadequate linkage will cause an earring to lack proper movement.”

“Basic Wire Work for Bead Jewelry, by Kate Drew-Wilkinson

Sterling Silver Prayer Boxes

Item #PE692S – 12mm Bali Prayer Box
All Sterling silver
Hand etched, hinged.
Approximately 12x12mm
Heavy duty bail
$7.50 each
Item #PE668L – 18mm Bali Prayer Box
All Sterling silver
Hand etched, hinged.
Approximately 18x18mm
Heavy duty bail
$10.50 each
18mm prayer box

All handmade in Bali for us exclusively by families who are silversmiths. We are trying to give them as much business as possible to help the artists and their economy. Want to know about our “Bali Families”?

There are three sizes in stock, each beautifully handstamped, hinged with a brass pin (for greater strength) and with a heavy duty bail for hanging as a pendant, charm, etc. The 12x12mm box is created from lots of teeny pieces of sterling silver.

What is a prayer box? Apparently, you put your prayers in it, your wishes, and open it whenever you need to. These are very spiritual pieces. The ancient Tibetan Buddhist religion believed that putting your prayer into these boxes would ensure that it would be answered. Prayer box pendants were worn on chains that kept the prayer near the heart. Some designers fill them with medicinal herbs or aromatherapy botanicals. Naturally, you are the creator of each unique box’s outcome and story. Sold by the piece.

We also have Prayer Boxes in Pewter
and more Bali and Bali Style beads and findings
