Shiny new jewellery!

We have had our first batch of pretty new jewellery arrive! This season it's full of yummy rich colours to aid in warming yourself up for the chilly nights ahead with lots of lovely new brooches to pin onto those wooly coat lapels! There are also necklaces, rings and some lovely keyrings/bag charms.



We're heading off to the Halloween Tattoo Bash on October 30th-31st (my birthday, dedication that is!) so come and have a fondle of our wares and shimmy on down at their epic Halloween Ball!

We'll have lots more new goodies arriving soon too as...dramatic pause...we're in full Christmas swing, eep, with the full range of new Loungefly bags and wallets arriving towards the end of November. There will also be something super-exciting happening on November 1st but you'll see that with your own eyes, we're keeping you in suspense for now.

All change please! Lots of new goodies too!

Phew, after another busy summer of conventions it's lovely to have a few weeks to ourselves...or not!

Whilst we've just abour recovered from the joys of Tattoo Jam and Norwich being on consecutive weekends and getting waaaay too many tattoos in a pretty short time period (7 hour sitting anyone?!) we've got some SUPER exciting news! The Beadesaurus Marple store is moving!

We've completely outgrown our current Beadesaurus premesis at number 5 Derby Way...so we're moving 3 doors down to number 11 (the old SOS/Pirates & Princesses store!)!

We're going to have a much bigger shopfloor to fill with a much wider array of goodies and a second level too where lots of exciting things are going to start happening once we're settled in!

The grand opening is on September 2nd and we'll have some lovely cupcakes baked by a genuine grandma for anyone who pops by!

Right, onto what's new!

Well, we have LOADS of new Liquorbrand t-shirts, although much of it still needs to go online (particularly the men's Liquorbrand range) it's slowly beginning to trickle onto the website! Many designs are by the super-lovely Phil Kyle who we had a great time boozing and schmoozing with at Bournemouth Convention at the end of May. Here are our favourites:


We've also expanded our kiddies range immensely with more to come! We're currently stocking up to age 5 in kid's t-shirts and kid's babydoll ruffle tees but hope to go up to age 12 to cater for all your pre-tattooed youngun's needs!


We're also a bit more lady-like! Our new dresses and skirts go up to a size 18 too!


Two new Whitney Lenox designs are in stock now along with a replenishment of some older ever-popular designs including Busy Living & Cut-Throat Girl. We briefly met at Tattoo Jam although the way I was introduced probably scared her slightly! She's gorgeous, just like the ladies she draws!



We've got in a gorgeous new range of retro and vintage style tattoo jewellery too. Pin-up-tacular!


And last, but not least, we have also now got ALL of the new Loungefly through, phew! They'll be teasing us with previews of the autumn/winter range soon, beasts! We do love them though, and their sugar skull-tastic summer range! Look at all this bag & wallet shaped goodness!



We're off to check out lots of lovely autumn/winter ranges in the next two weeks, and then we have the immensity of LONDON TATTOO CONVENTION on the 24th-25th-26th of September! We have our own arch so come and have a good old shop!

Steampunk Supreme!

Look at these delicious goodies...!



We've gone steampunk mad! All of these gorgeous items are completely handmade near Los Angeles, USA and we are pretty much the only place you can get them from in the UK. The quality and finish on these items is absolutely first class and many are limited edition, designer pieces with other items in the collection having been seen on celebrities such as Madonna, Emily Blunt, Kat Von D, Jennifer Love Hewitt and even Paris Hilton and appearing in TV shows including Sex & The City.

Some of my personal favourite piece are the reliquary/dexterity box necklaces, purely due to their originality and uniqueness. A reliquary is a receptacle for keeping or displaying sacred relics and to play with this idea, the designer has chosen some of her favorite art as a backdrop for these designs. Some are dexterity game puzzles, some have moving parts of flux and flow. The result is a line of cherished keepsakes that are 3-dimensional artifacts, reflecting a sensibility of history and playfulness.

All items are heavily plated in either sterling silver or bio-friendly black enamel and, as I said before, are COMPLETELY handmade. Prices range from £18 for a ring way up to £70 for the strictly limited edition working compass necklace. The materials used to create these pieces vary from, glass, steel, brass and even wood.

The quality of this jewellery only surpassed by the statement it makes by those who wear it. Accessories with class and sass!

On a money saving note we've taken around 10% (or more!) off a lot of Loungefly as we're preparing for their spring/summer range to arrive in mid-April to May time and we need to make some space for all the new goodies. The items below have had a couple of quid or more slashed from their prices.

Was £19.99 now £12.99! - 35% off!Was £26.99 now £24.99! 7.5% off!Was £49.99 now £44.99! - 10% offWas £44.99 now £39.99! 11% off!Was £49.99 now £44.99! 10% off!

Was £21.99 now £19.99! 1% off!Was £21.99 now £14.99! - 32% off!

Some of these have been put on sale as we won't be receiving any more when they've gone, others have simply had their prices reduced and remain in their original categories as they simply cost less now and we will continue to sell them at these lower prices! Whoo!

Have a super weekend!
