Quick Dispatch & Delivery
26 September 2023  |  Nicola

Very quick dispatch and delivery. A great ordering process that cannot be faulted. The quality of the leather is okay, but not the best. It's soft, but quite a bit of cracking in the leather, so not sure how durable it will be for necklaces. It's definitely better than other leather cord that I've tried from some other places though!

Glass pearl drop beads
25 September 2023  |  Kim

These beads are absolutely gorgeous
And look stunning on my finished piece
The only reason that I've given 4 stars is that two of them had poorer finish to the hole chipped which didn't actually matter in the piece I was making as the crystal butted right up to it and the tension was tight enough not to show
But I was slightly disappointed as all of the other beads purchased were perfect
I would definitely order all of the beads from my order again
The service from Southampton Bead company and quality of the beads is excellent .
It's the first time that I've ordered from them and I found that the quality and excellent value for money, was really amazing...
The order came within two days which was great

These beads will be used on a Halloween wedding dress, they look amazing as they catch the light. Perfect. Thank you.
