Great beads and an efficient service
For my projects the Preciosa 10/0 beads are brilliant to work with and you offer a good selection of colours and the quality of the beads is consistent, a couple were out of stock but that just shows they are popular. Delivery was quick so all in all a good experience and would recommend to friends
