New Items Alerts
We have been busy adding new product lines during this first quarter. Be sure to check out the
following if you have not seen them already. All these items are already shown on our website.
More Venetian Blown Glass
We most recently added many new designs to our series of blown Italian glass beads. Also look for
several new gold foil styles and gorgeous mosaic tile beads.
Handblown Furnace Glass -- Made in the USA
This beautiful line of furnace glass mixes features seven different color palette mixes as well as
themed mixes like Tropical, Pastels and Multi-colored stripes.
Lampwork Glass -- Made in China
We have expanded the color selections in our extremely popular Metallic Thread Beads. We also added
a new line of lampwork flower beads called "Luau Beads." These bright 8mm rounds look just like the
patterns on Hawaiian Shirts. Also look for new faux stone beads, sparkle beads and more.
New Pewter Items -- Made in the USA
We added seven new pewter beads and findings to our line including carved rose shape items, a
tied bow bead, and a great chandelier earring link finding.
Expanded Cubic Zirconia Bead Line -- Made in Germany
When we introduced our exclusive 6mm CZ bead last summer, it sold out in just one week! After many
requests for more sizes and colors, we have responded by introducing an entire line of cubic zirconia
beads from 4mm to 8mm in an array of beautiful colors.

Keep an eye on the Sales & Specials section of our website for great deals on beads and components.
This week we will be posting a list of "odd lots" priced significantly below our cost. Other
bargains will follow, so be sure to visit regularly.

Silver Surcharge in Effect
As long as the market Silver price stays above $5.75, we will have to have a surcharge in effect
for silver goods because our catalog prices are based on $5.00 Silver market prices. This surcharge
may vary according to the market. You can check our website or call our customer service department
to verify what the current rate is. If Silver continues to stay high over the next year, we will
likely publish our next catalog at $6.00 Silver market and raise our standard prices accordingly.

Swarovski Surcharge
The weak US dollar has caused our costs to increase 18% on Swarovski items since the publication
of our catalog. Swarovski adjusts their currency add-on regularly to account for fluctuations
in the currency market. We can no longer absorb all of this expense and are passing through a
surcharge as of April 1, 2004. This surcharge rate may change if the dollar continues to slide.
Please also be advised that standard prices will likely be increased in our next catalog to account
for this currency effect.
