Semi-Precious, Coloured Stones, Gem-beads, Cubic Zirconia Beads and Pearls

The allure of coloured stone and gem beads — the appeal of pearls — the call of cubics (zirconias - that is!).

The term "semi-precious" is falling out of favour (what do mean, half precious, which half?) - but we have a variety of stone beads from simple agates to fancy faceted gems. We have natural stones and reconstituted, we have freshwater pearls. We try to be as accurate as possible in our descriptions - please remember that they items are made by Mother Nature and there may be some variation.
