Pricing is determined by diameter size of bead, as measured from hole to hole in millimeters. Since most of my beads are slightly donut shaped, the numbers usually come out smaller measuring this way. Every once in a while I make a bead that has its long axis along the hole, in which case, you're screwed. Sorry. But I feel it's critically important to be consistant.

Designer/production beads come in basically two price categories, plus the inevitable exception:

• a) 1st quality pixies/dotties
• b) 1st quality everything else
• c) dichros of various types

Dottie/Pixie prices:

Description: Dotties are transparent hollow beads with 3 rows of five dots, or bumps, each. Pixies are transparent hollow beads with a coating of ``pixie dust''. Yes, that really is the industry term.

• less than 10mm: $11
• 10--13mm: $9
• 14--17mm: $11
• 18--23mm: $17
• more than 23mm: see note

Abstract/CurliQ/Stripey/Gold leaf/FloralonPixie/etc

Description: Abstracts are hollow (sometimes chiming) beads coated with thompson enamels (powder), frits, and metallic leaf; CurliQs may be opaque or transparent with spiral trailing; Stripeys are typically opaque beads that made with stripes, twisted stripes, gravity swirled stripes, even layered opaque dots; Gold leaf is a plain base bead, opaque or transparent, with gold leaf applied to it; Floral on Pixie is a pixie with additional floral trailing. Extravagant Abstracts and Antique Curliques are variations on the above; add $1 to the price for these.

• less than 10mm: $15
• 10--13mm: $13
• 14--17mm: $15
• 18--23mm: $25
• more than 23mm: see note

Dichro Solids:

• 10mm and under: $13
• 11--13mm: $15
• 14--17mm: $18
• more than 17mm: see note

Focal Beads.

Focals are typically individually priced, but the info below will give you a sense of the range.

Dichro Cores

Description: This is custom ordered bead, and price varies. It is a cylindrical dichroic bead with a jacketed hollow bead built on the core. The simplest design is a plain jacket, or one with a row of 5 dots; sometimes I make them with 3 rows of 5 dots, like the dotties. The other design I used to do on a fairly regular basis was floral decorations on the jacket. They start at about $20 and go up from there, and are priced on time.

Floral Vases, frit/powder or pixie base:

Description: a vessel shaped hollow bead (at least somewhat hollow, anyway:) decorated with a base of either thompson enamels and frits, many artist-made or pixie dust, trailed with floral canes.

start $38, and go up to about $50. Most around $40--45.

How to Order:

Email me with a list and a phone number with a good time to call. I'll contact you with delivery info, get your credit card info, etc. If you don't want to do the phone thing, I can email you an invoice, you can send me a check (made out to Rejiquar Works, please) and I'll ship your beads when it clears. Yeah, I know, really crude.

Discounts, extra fees, etc.

Quite often I pay for the shipping, but if you don't like something, you have to pay to insure it and send it back. I'm one person, and not set up to accept return shipping costs. If you're really nervous, I can take a pic of your beads and post it privately, if you want a better sense of what you're getting. Abuse this privilege and it will go away.

I offer what I believe are fairly standard wholesale discount schedules: 25% off retail for orders of $250 or more, and keystone for orders at $500 (e.g. for shops/beadstores). Wholesale customers are responsible for shipping.

Returns. You're welcome to send anything, for any reason, back. I understand wholeheartedly that it takes a leap of faith to buy something sight unseen, however good the representations may be.

Special Orders: So you want to order something I don't normally do, and what happens if you don't like it? Good question, and one for which I currently don't have an answer. So far, it's never been a problem, cuz all of my custom-order customers have loved their product. I would suggest, if the order is going to be a large one, that you purchase samples before either of us invests too much time and trouble. Certainly I'd much rather refund your money for one or two beads than 300.

I'll try to add pix, links etc., soon. And yeah, the tone of this page is unneccessarily snarky. Apologies, I'm not really trying to scare you off. I'll try and fix that soon, too. Meh.
