Help other customers by reviewing our products!

Hi everyone

You know how it is - you see something you really like but just wish you could ask someone for a second opinion!!

Well, why not review some of your bead and jewellery making purchases at www.sand-stones.co.uk ?

It's really easy - all you have to do is click on the product you'd like to review. Then, scroll down the page a little and just underneath the price info, in the bottom left corner of the products page, you will see a box saying 'write review'. Click the box, enter your log in details and you can then grade the product from 1 to 5 stars (5 being the best). You can then add some comments like bead quality, products ease of use, how you incorporated beads into your designs etc. Anything really that you think might help your fellow beaders when choosing their goodies!

We'll do our best to post as many reviews as possible but please bare with us during this busy Christmas period!

We've listed some more bead kits, as well as more 925 silver findings, some lovely charms and some more half-drilled pearls that we hope you will enjoy!

International customers can now enjoy HUGE savings on shipping costs as we have slashed our overseas postage prices at every level!

Thanks for shopping at Sandstones, for all your Beads and Jewellery Making needs!
