This is an amazing box! I love these forest colours: beautiful greens and earthy tones. I’ve discovered some new gorgeous green colours I didn’t know exist 😉

This is the first box I bought. I certainly was not disappointed! The variety of greens and intensity of color was wonderful. I urge everyone to purchase a box that calls to you and enjoy the magical exploration of opening a box. And then, and then you get to caress, play and create with many beautiful jewel components.

Absolutely fantastic, curated collection of Preciosa crystals and pearls. The color combinations are beautiful. Once you unpack the carefully organized box, you find one beautiful item after another. There are so many crystals, chatons, rivolis, pearls, round crystals, and drops! Erika, Ivette, and the staff are wonderful – they answer questions and make order adjustments quickly. I live on the west coast of the U.S. And my items have always arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Thank you!

Earth tones are a must in a beader’s stash, always easy to use, easy to combine either you highlight them or use them completing your creation. I can not get used to the professional packaging , so amazed how many things the team can squeeze in this paper box; like a never-ending boxing day each time!

Of the 4 boxes I bought, this is my favourite one. I like the green tones and how well they combine with eachother. These colors are good for every season.

Another excellent box to add to your collection. I didn’t realise that it was possible to buy so many different shades of green! I love that there are enough beads to make something like a pair of earrings; a broach or a ring.

Wow! What a Forest of beauty. These greens are perfectly chosen to make beautifully coordinated creations. The quality is excellent! The packaging is amazing – this group of super people can fit so many great combinations of beads into the box & you’ll be amazed 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. Plus, the shipping is spot on. I live in the USA but buy most of my special beads from Erika despite the distance because the quality & personal attention to detail is so very good. Thank you Beading School team! ❣️

I always thought that green is not my color. But the colors in this box are really beautiful.

This was the box I opened and bought last om them all and I was not dissapointed! Earthy tones which I use a lot in my beading. To unwrap these boxes is like christmas eve, so beautifully packed by the team. It’s a small box but it seems to never end when you start to unpack! These boxes are great to buy because you get a little taste of everything so you can choose which colors/items you want more of or just to start building a stash with these beautiful crystals and pearls!
