A clean new way to attach beads has arrived. Rings & Things now carries center-drilled gemstone shapes. The unique center hole allows you to firmly attach the bead to your fabric in a face-up position, displaying the entire shape instead of a side angle. Better still, these 6mm gems have a flat backside to lie flush against your fabric and a faceted front for visual appeal and better light reflection. The beads come in amethyst, garnet and tourmaline stones, shaped into stars, hearts or chips. Simply use a small knot or seed (“roundel”) bead at the front for hold. The company plans to carry inexpensive glass versions of these beads in the coming months. Rings & Things is a jewelry supplies wholesaler, offering more than 10,000 types of beads, parts and tools for professional craftspeople. Visit www.rings-things.com or call toll-free 1 (800) 235-8517 to order the company’s wholesale catalog ($5).
