- 40+ silver jump rings
- 4 earring pieces, silver
- 37 silver headpins, 2"
- Seven necklace clasps, lobster (silver plated) and screw type
- 10 tiny spacer beads
- Free-form agate cabochon; some chipping around the hole on the back side of it
- Faceted cabochon, shimmery red, but I do not know the type of stone
- 49 moss agate sphere beads, 5mm
- 90 sodalite nugget beads

If you already have or do not want the tools (or some of them), I will substitute two or more hand made cabochons (undrilled) for each tool you do not want.

This is a beautiful lot full of natural stones - get started making earrings, necklaces, bracelets and pendants right away with this lot. I will throw in some colourful gift bags (about 2"), too, for your masterpieces! =)

If bids go over 8,000 I will ship for free to the US.

Questions & Comments

i want to know if the veads are glass or plastic?

Sep 13th, 2011 at 12:21:43 PM PDT by

Which ones? Most of them are actual stones (e.g., jasper, agate, amethyst, etc - those are real semi-precious stones). The bag of assorted are both plastic and glass but mostly plastic. :)

I wish I could bid on only the tools. I'm just getting started beading and need them!

Sep 12th, 2011 at 12:28:46 AM PDT by

I suppose you could always bid as much as you'd want to pay for just the tools :) You never know!

Sep 12th, 2011 at 5:37:37 AM PDT by

Will probably go WAY higher than I have, but still a fabulous starter set!
Watching for sure! :D

Sep 13th, 2011 at 11:50:41 PM PDT by

Thanks! I had a nightmare last night that no one bid on it lol so I hope you're right ;)

When you say the findings are "silver" this and that -- Do you mean; sterling silver, silverplated or silvery colored? Just curious, Thanks.

Sep 14th, 2011 at 8:41:53 AM PDT by

The headpins and jumprings are solid sterling silver. I'm 90% sure the earring pieces are solid silver as well. The chain and lobster clasps are silverplated, and the crew-in clasps are silver coloured. So basically, if I say "silver," I mean solid sterling silver; if I say "silver plated" I mean silver plated. If I don't specify I either don't know, or they are just silver colored. Hope that helps!

Gee, when you write "silver" enough times it really starts to look weird! ;)

nice listing are the tools mini tools or large ones? thanks

Sep 16th, 2011 at 9:10:24 AM PDT by

I'm not sure, I didn't know there was such a thing as mini tools. They are fairly small - like when you hold the handles (the pink part) to work, there isn't much that sticks out behind your hand. They are maybe 6" long total? They aren't high end tools but they are serviceable.

Sep 18th, 2011 at 9:50:00 AM PDT by

Weird! Someone said the same thing about another auction I had, but Listia said it wasn't a glitch. I guess you could try again in a bit. Good luck!

Sep 18th, 2011 at 9:53:32 AM PDT by

clicking the + sign does not add credits, ask Listia-I did!

Sep 18th, 2011 at 4:00:28 PM PDT by

What + sign do you mean? I don't understand, sorry...
