Bow Chikka Bow Bead Porn

I didn't do my usual gem show rounds this fall (well one round, one show, hehe) because my husband was laid off but I saved up some money and placed a bulk order. I have never ordered from India before, but I was quite pleased. Shipping took only a week via UPS but I paid quite a chunk for that shipping. I liked the security of having UPS ship though as I had never heard of the other company they offer. Okay prepare yourself.


The envelope arrived and I ripped it open to find this cloth covered box sealed with wax.


All of the gems are AA and AAA, micro faceted. So here we have some Labradorite, Rubilite Garnet, Mookaite Jasper and a little Fluorite pear peaking out over there in the right corner.

Beer Quartz, Zircon, Blue Topaz, Imperial Topaz and Vesuvianite carved leaves.


Rock Crystal Quartz


Fluorite Leaves, Garnet hearts and Garnet pears.


A better look at the Imperial Topaz pears and the leaves.


I can't wait to sit down with everything!

  2. Mwahhhh... I have some serious bead envy here! I'm still waiting for my own bead order to arrive from India, mine's taken over a month! :(

    Now excuse me while I go look at your pictures some more and dribble quietly into my keyboard... :p...
