This was the first box I chose. I just HAD to have it, with all my favourite colours: blues, turquoises!
Can’t stop admiring them, makes me happy every time I’m looking at these amazing treasures! This was my first encounter with Preciosa and I’m very pleased. GREAT quality!! I highly recommend it!
Ulrike –
A wonderful colour palette of blue and turquoise crystals and pearls. The quality of Preciosa is absolutely satisfying. I love it.

Mandatory box for every student in the beadingschool! It’s my favourite as well 😉 You won’t regret it!

If you don’t know which box you need to choose, then choose this one…as you are probably a student or will become a student of the Beadingschool by Erika, you need to have Turquoise shades in your stash..it’s almost mandatory :-)…..I like my box a lot….normally I arrange my stash per color or size, but the Preciosa boxes are left as they are…they are little treasures….I hope you enjoy your box as much as I do

Thank you, Erika and team for putting together this beautiful collection. This is the best curated box of Preciosa crystals and pearls I’ve seen. The box is stuffed with a stunning assortment of chatons, rivolis, pearls, round crystals, bicones, and drops. This is the 3rd box I’ve ordered; the Forest (stunning assortment of greens and golden natural hues), the Signature box (enroute), and this box. I live on the west coast of the U.S. And my packages have always arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Highly recommend this shop for a very positive experience.

Turquoise blue, turquoise green, turquoise for each hour of the day. I think this must be the most popular collection in the Club. It’s a trip to the shore; we can’t really travel these days, but it’s a nice substitution! Thank you Preciosa for the beads, thank you Erika to organize these boxes. I recommend to have an ice cream, coctail with umbrella and sunglasses next to you when you open the box! Summer’s ON!

Erika loves turquoise and so do the most of her fans, like me! You can combine turquoise with a lot of other colors. We all need some turquoise in our lives

This box probably is my favourite collection because I adore the blues (I’m a blue; purple kind of girl!). I have bought the First Generation and Second Generation of this box. Neither disappoint and there is a different section each time so it’s not a case of replicating the contents. Excellent value for money and postage is reasonable

These ocean colors 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! ❣️

This box is my personal first choice because it contains my favourite colours. Erikas boxes are perfectly curated she exactly knows what beaders love.

I love all boxes, but this one I love most.
Beautiful selection of colors. Especially the matte ones are supernice. It’s like swimming in the ocean. All boxes are carefully packed.
Catherine Chinoy –
I very much enjoyed the mystery of the Ocean box
It arrived quickly via FEDEX although usually I don’t mind waiting for standard delivery sometimes it’s nice to have them speedily
I have already used some of the high quality chatons bicones and rivolis, my favourite so far were the 8mm rivolis in Emerald and I’ve bought several more of this useful size for earrings. Overall a great purchase and I would get another when the budget permits

I love the ocean, I live at the ocean and I love the colors of the ocean box.

Ocean breeze…. Every colour tone makes me taking a deep breath and just say Ahhhh even though I am not really a blue or turqouise girl (…even if my namn is Iris…)

This is my absolute favourite of all the boxes! I love turquoise 😍 and there is also blue tones. Sparkly and colorful! Happiness in a little box that contains so many beautiful items! Amazing! Preciosa is now my number 1 when it comes to crystals and pearls!

Absolutely amazing! I keep looking at all the pretty colours! I repack the box and then unpack it again to see it all over to get another thrill. So impressed that I have ordered the Forest box – waiting for this to arrive! Thank you for such a great selection. 🙂
