I heard, beads.

🚲 Happy World Bicycle Day!

Beads and bicycles may seem like an unusual pair, but both are all about balance, rhythm, and enjoying the journey.

Whether you're riding a bike, stitching a bracelet, or simply taking the scenic route through your day, we hope it's a good one!

Gemstone of the Week: Carnelian

Some gemstones whisper. Carnelian prefers to make an entrance.

With shades ranging from soft peach to deep fiery orange, Carnelian has been treasured for thousands of years for its warmth, energy, and unmistakable glow. Whether you're creating a simple bracelet, a statement necklace, or adding a few accent beads to a favorite design, Carnelian brings a rich pop of color that feels right at home in the sunshine of early summer.

This week we're shining the spotlight on Carnelian and all its beautiful variations. Stop by and take a look at the strands, focals, and treasures currently waiting on the shelves. You may find the perfect spark for your next project.

We’re heading into the final stretch of our Nirvana Beads Gemstone Trunk Show.

The clock is ticking with the show wrapping up June 8th, and while the selection still rocks, this is the moment to make your way in. There are still hundreds of 8" gemstone strands to explore, with plenty of color, shape, and texture to spark something new.

If it’s been on your list, don’t wait much longer. These last days tend to go quickly.

What we’re loving this week: Faceted Dangle Drops from the Czech Republic.

At 15mm and 20mm, these are made for statement pieces without feeling heavy. The long, tapered shape and crisp facets catch the light beautifully, giving you movement and sparkle with very little effort. Add a pair to simple ear wires and you’re halfway to a finished design.

They’re bold, a little dramatic, and surprisingly easy to work with. If you’ve been in the mood to make something that stands out, these are a fun place to start.
