Beads
We can deliver your Christmas present to anywhere in the world - just enter the mailing address in our checkout. However, please order early for Christmas - allow at least two-weeks. Although we will be mailing right to the last moment - all orders after 18th December will be delayed.
Christmas in Hong Kong is a mix of East and West, but being an ex-British colony
(like the US!), at Christmas, Christian culture predominates. It can be get as cold as
10 degrees C, but is usually
sun.
Drink more and have a fun Christmas - there is more to life
than beading!

here and my blog about them

Beaded jewelry
makes great presents. Small and light, so being easily mailed or tucked in
a stocking. It’s also personal and easy to remember who the gift came
from. You can even hang jewelry on the Christmas tree.
Boxed necklaces
with matching earring sets make great presents and easy to wrap.
Offer your customers free gift wrapping and mailing.
For personal gifts buy ready-made jewelry online, requesting your
supplier to mail direct with no invoice and a
happy Christmas note. December is the
peak retail season, when many stores take one-third of their entire year’s
sales.
Turquoise is
the gemstone for December, but pearls make ideal Christmas presents too – try
combining the two or mixing pearls with silver. All give an air of
sophisticated quality. To read about pearls

What is turquoise?
Turquoise
is a soft, opaque gemstone, formed by volcanic rock reacting to copper deposits
brought by water. Color ranges from
blue-green, to yellow-green with grey, black or brown veining.
Most non-green turquoise these days is dyed.
As genuine turquoise is expensive, reconstituted turquoise is common -
crafted from real turquoise chips fused with other stones to cut cost.
Turquoise
has been found in 5,000-year-old Egyptian tombs and the Tibetans used it as
currency centuries ago. North Africa and the Middle East hold large deposits,
but most turquoise today originates from Burma and is carved in China. Turquoise
didn’t reach Europe until the crusades when the name originated, meaning
“Turkish stone”.
Ancient doctors thought turquoise prevented injury and ground it into a powder
to cure stomach disorders, internal bleeding, and insect bites. Turquoise has
always been used to protect the wearer from danger, attract wealth, and warn as
a talisman or good luck charm. Some believe it will fade when danger or illness
is near, or a lover is unfaithful. It’s also said to protect against pollution
and strengthen the body.
Turquoise is porous, so contact with liquids, oils or even perspiration should
be avoided. This is why it’s often impregnated with plastic, colorless oil or
wax to improve color and durability.
Jewelry should be removed before washing.
Turquoise
and pearl go so well together - creating natural, expensive-looking, quality
jewelry, ideal for presents. Wrap it in a nice box and try to be present
when it’s opened - that's if you can't resist keeping the piece for yourself!
Turquoise also looks great with red coral, creating jewelry with mystique,
giving a Tibetan effect.
