Ancient Ruins

This month's Sam’s Bead Box is inspired by the beauty and captivating history of ancient ruins found around the world. It's full of rich red, black, and metallic tones and features a whole lot of textures to design with. Rachel and I recently began working directly with bead makers in the Czech Republic to produce custom beads for the box. The process takes many months but is so worth it! We start by picking the shapes we love for our theme, such as the carved ruin and tablecut trilobite for this box. Then we customize the color and finish we want for each bead.

SilverSilk Pipe Chain is all the rage when it comes to jewelry making. Learn how to cut, bend and shape wire link components that slide right over the Pipe Chain! You can create these into any length or string any bead arrangements as you wish. Fill up the entire length of Pipe Chain or just make a few, the creativity is up to you! Sam’s Bead Shop has the best bead box around. I chose my favorite beads to construct this gorgeous necklace. Have a watch and learn something very new.
