How it works!

We have always supplied beads wholesale as well as retail, to ensure you get keen prices when you need to buy beads in quantity. As beads vary so much in price, and indeed in how many you might need for a design, we have adjusted the pack prices accordingly. On the product page for each item you can see the discounted pack information. There are normally two discounts available for most items. Helpfully you can see both the pack price and the unit price listed at each level. To see these packs, click on the "MORE INFO" bar on each item listed in the category of the Online Shop.

So for single beads of an average, typical price from 8p each up to about 40p each:

20% discount off retail price for a pack of 30

40% off for a pack of 60

This also applies to items sold in pairs, such as necklace fittings etc.

Items sold in 10s., such as headpns or earhooks, follow this rule:

20£ off 10 packs(=100 items), 40% off 30 packs(=300 items), meaning that at full discount we are competitive for these items.

For larger more expensive items, such as Venetian glass or Swarovski pendants, there is a single discount of 20% for a packet of 10 items.
