Affordable Line of Extraordinary Beads

Venetian Bead Shop introduces our latest production of Dichroic Beads. After working for about 5 years on designs and production with our beadmakers, we have our new line of Murano Glass Dichroic Beads, these we call Silver Sparklers. Pictures do not do them justice, the sparkle which immimenates and the depth are simply stunning. We have these beautiful Murano Glass Beads in Rounds 10 and 12mm, Hearts 12mm and 20mm, Ovals. We are working hard to keep production up to the demand, so be sure to buy now.

Don't forget to sign up for our newsletter, we offer online promotions, coupons and you'll see our new beads first! SignUP on any of our webpages.

We've just finished 2 shows in New York and some time working with our beadmakers. We always learn something new at each show from our fellow vendors. From our back neighbor at MJSA, we are learning about stones and how he is a 7th generation stone cutter. At the WholeBead show in New York, we learn all about how leaves are dipped in gold or silver resulting in beautiful but real leaves for jewelry.

With our beadmakers we are developing a new line of dichroics. We spent sometime making samples, a couple of burned fingers reminded me that I am much better at making websites than beads! Also working for 8 hours at the torch reminds me that this is difficult, hot work and that I am grateful we have such good beadmakers help us.

When we make samples not all beads get into the line, but the picture here shows some of our work. We had hoped to work with a new dichroic material which is coated on copper but the effect just didn't turn out right. So we will begin our new line with just the silver/clears on colors, after that we'll bring out some of the more splashy beads that we designed. It will be a much more economical line. Look for this silver line on our site begining April 1st. Click to view Dichroics

Tuesday marks the end of the 2009 Carnival (Carnevale) in Venice. Dampened spirits by both the rain and the economy have toned it down a bit but the revelry continues. While the parties are still the mainstay of the society of Venice and costing upwards of 300 Euro for a dinner/ball, just putting on a mask makes you feel part of the fun. And of course each day there are wonderful sights/events to see, foods to taste and you can't help but enjoy yourself.

At VenetianBeadShop.com you can enjoy a bit of celebration as we are offering a 15% discount - valid only through midnight 24 Feb PDT. Click here for full details.
