Description
The video shows an example of what can be inside your Box. The shapes and sizes are always the same (you can check the list below), the mood (Rainbow, Ocean, Fire, etc.) is always the same, but the exact colors might differ based on availability.
Why is it a good choice?
- You get a good taste of what Preciosa and the 470-year-old tradition of the Czech crystal valley have to offer.
- You can be sure that Erika – The Storytelling Jeweller selects for you only what she personally loves to use, but still you receive a surprise to make you feel like it’s Christmas and give you the excitement of discovery!
Different ‘generations’ of boxes might contain a different set of colors. We always focus on the theme (Ocean, Romantic, etc.), but the exact contains vary, depending on availability at the Preciosa warehouse.

Essential box for every beader! It gives a jewel an extra dimension when you use a crystal from this box. I especially love the matt colors!

There is a whole new world with possibilities in this box. I usually don’t use white, but as there are so many words in the Eskimo world for white, I am sure I will be able to challenge myself and create exciting elegance with these calm colors.

This Elegant box in whites; greys and blacks was one of the first boxes I bought. It felt like a leap of faith but I’m so pleased I did. The quality and variety are amazing. This was also my first sight of the Crystal Matt (AB) bicones. I am in total lust over them. I shall never look at an ordinary bicone again. Matt and Matt ABs are the future and I’m going to include them in all my beading from now on. Crystal and Matt would not normally be used in the same sentence but if you say Crystal and Frosted, it makes so much sense. Excellent choice Erika

Perfectly chosen to make very elegant creations. The quality is excellent! The packaging is amazing – this group of amazing people can fit so many great combinations of beads into the box & you’ll be surprised at how much you get for the price. I’m new to this type of beading so having help with color selection & bead type really help me progress in my learning. Thank you Beading School team! ❣️
