Our aim for both shops was simple – to become the biggest and best supplier of beads, findings, tools and books anywhere in Scotland and we pride ourselves in having achieved our goal.

Our comprehensive product range is constantly being updated and refreshed, keeping up with the latest fashions in beading and jewellery design.

Our current range includes:

• High quality tools, bead-boards and looms
• Huge choice of sparkling Swarovski crystal, fresh water pearls and Czech glass
• A massive range of Miyuki delicas, magatamas and all types of seed beads
• Beautiful handmade jewellery and Parisian enamel
• Books, magazines, jewellery making kits and everything to get you started
• Children’s parties – to start the little beaders off early!
• Full repairing and jewellery making service – just choose your own beads and have it made to order!
• An extensive range of beading and jewellery-making workshops running in seasonal blocks throughout the year.

You’ll also find original hand-knitted bags, scarves and corsages by Plain and Purl, a select range of handbags and accessories, a wide selection of hand-thrown pottery by Abbey Ceramics and beautiful hand-made jewellery by our talented artists at both of our shops.
