Why we don't offer volume discounts or frequent shopper discounts
Quantity discounts are not offered because we purchase direct from suppliers, cutting out the middlemen to offer the lowest price to all of our customers. Sterling silver, gold filled and 14K items fluctuate in price with the gold and silver market - we watch the market and order when costs are low so that we can pass along that benefit to you. We also do this with TOHO seed beads by monitoring the Yen against the US Dollar.
Using our Design Studio
You are always welcome to use a bead board to shop and sit in the studio to layout your design (as long as no classes are being held) to ensure that you have enough beads for your project. Also, if you need to match up beads just mention this when you come into the store and feel free to lay them out on your shopping tray or board as you shop.
