A Few Words About Our Company
My husband,
David, and I have been buying and selling on eBay since 1998. I started
Kaleidoscope in January 1999, and it's been growing steadily! The
business is run from my home office, so I'm able to keep the overhead
low. I inspect all merchandise for quality when it's received, and then
again when it ships out. I don't sell anything that I wouldn't use
myself, in my jewelry creations. You can be confident that you'll
receive beautiful merchandise at great prices from me!
Tired of having to meet high minimum orders, in order to get good
prices? You'll find no minimum order requirements here!
We also have a blog and an artists and crafters gallery on the website,
so be sure to check those out. The registration for the blog is
separate from the registration for the webstore, since those features
use different software - if you're registered for the store, you still
have to register to post comments on the blog. If you're interested in
being included in the gallery, please drop me an email, and I'll be happy to
send you information.
About Our Merchandise
We sell
handmade sterling silver beads and findings, and hand carved and
drilled gemstone beads. Since just about everything is done by hand,
please expect some variation in size and shape, from bead to bead.
Please be sure to use the measurements that I reference on each item to
judge the size of the items, since my photos may appear smaller
or larger than actual size on your computer, depending on your monitor
resolution and
other factors. Also, I do have close up photos of most of the items in
my shop. Please feel free to use the email link below to request close
up photos, should you need a better view of any of the items.
Please click on an item title to go the description page for that item.
You will probably have to scroll down the page a bit, to be able to see
the text description of each item.
Please note that I am requesting that customers limit themselves to one
"grab bag" per order. My grab bags consist of items that I'm not
currently stocking, end of the lot items, and special purchase items.
These are guaranteed to be worth much more than the purchase price!
These special items are available in limited quantity, so please do not
purchase more than one grab bag per order. I reserve the right to send
an item refund to anyone that purchases more than one of these per
order. Orders for grab bags only will not be accepted.
Placing Orders
You don't
have to register in order to place an order, but registering may
simplify the process for regular customers. Please be
assured that your information will never be
shared with anyone else. Regular customers who
choose to register may be given a customer discount, depending on the
volume of your purchases. Should you choose to register, please be sure
that you enable cookies for this website. If you don't do that, you may
not remain signed in as you browse the website. If you are not familiar
with enabling cookies and need help editing the settings for your
browser, please feel free to email me for help. The website works best
with Internet Explorer or Firefox. Please note that I accept payment by
PayPal (my
preferred method), check or money order. Please be sure to choose
"Check" to pay by check or money order, when filling in the order
information, or choose "PayPal" to pay via PayPal. Credit cards are
accepted through PayPal. If you do not know the number of the check or
money order that you'll be mailing to me, please just enter the number
"1000". Please note that the form defaults to the "Check" choice, so
you must choose "PayPal" before completing your order, if you want to
pay through their service.
