Below is useful information about the beads I use regularly
Swarovski Crystal
The Swarovski Company is based in Austria. The beads are cut with many facets to reflect light. Some crystals have a special coating called Aurora Borealis or AB. This coating reflects the light to give the beads even more sparkle. Swarovski also make Glass Pearls.
Jade
Jade is found in different colours including green, white and yellow and is primarily mined in China. Jade is said to attract peace, strength, creativity and mental agility.
Rose Quartz
Quartz is found in many colours including clear, pink and lemon. Rose quartz is said to promote love and relationships.
Tigers Eye
Part of the quartz family, it is commonly found in red and brown. Tigers Eye is said to promote postive attitude and attracts wealth and success.
Chinese Cloisonne Beads
Cloisonne Beads are made of enamel. Wire is formed into a pattern and glued on to the bead. Then colour is applied within the filigree wire pattern.
