Seven New Daily Bracelets

Seven new designs have been added to Anita's Daily Bracelet blog. Bead kits and finished bracelets are available at Anita's Beads.

New designs include an Apollo Gold rosebud design (detail above), a Czech "Stone" diamond bracelet, and two designs featuring our new synthetic stones: Azurite/Malachite and the incredibly popular Pink Rainbow Stone.

Happy Birthday!

Today is the 14th anniversary of what is now Anita's Beads. I opened as Toad Hollow Jewelry on July 4th, 1996 just three weeks or so after relocating here. Miss Pearl moved in about the same time and has been a loyal mascot ever since.

New Camera & New Daily Bracelets

I just got a Nikon Coolpix digital camera with my credit card miles (happy birthday to me!) and I took some photos of a few new Daily Bracelet designs to test it out. All of the bracelets are available as kits at Anita's Beads.

Mixed Fruit a la Carmen Miranda

A lovely mix of bananas, grapes, apples, pears, strawberries and peach pits available by the 50-piece assortment.

Spring Special! (ends May 31st) - purchase three strands together as pictured and receive a 30% discount.

Bohemian Trade Beads

I absolutely adore the color and shape of these beautiful old glass cylinder beads known as Bohemian. We have two strands available. The first strand (outside) is an interesting mix of oranges with a few darker red beads. Strand length is 32 inches and the bead diameter is between 14mm to 18mm.

The second strand (inside, detail shown below) has larger (16mm to 20mm) predominantly red beads. The strand is 27 inches long.
