New Beadies

I got a package today from one of my best stone suppliers - yippee!!! All of these stones are mined within the United States, which means that they are all fair trade. And all are currently available for custom order rings, pendants, or whatever else you and I can dream up together. If you're interested in commissioning a piece using any of these stones, let me know!
