Announcement    I have a Nice Selection of Beautiful Glass Beads both Czech Glass and Lots of my Handmade Glass Beads that I make just for my Etsy Site, Bead Shows and Bead Store…. I have been a jewelry designer for the past 41 years and a Lampworker (making glass beads) for the past 22 years on the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii. I am now offering my Lei Type Bracelet and Earring Kits, along with my Hand Made Artisan Glass Beads and a special selection of Czech and German Glass Beads, Victorian and Antique Buttons. I Specialize in all the beads it takes to make my Garden Style Bead Work and Leather Wrap Bracelets.
When you buy $50.00 or more from my Etsy site in Czech Glass Beads, I will give you FREE instructions to either my Garden Bracelet, Garden Earrings or Leather Wrap Bracelet. You just have to ASK for the FREE instructions.
My Hand Made Glass Beads are made mostly out of Italian and German Art Glass, Double Helix, 22k gold leaf, silver leaf/foil, gold stone and dicro glass. All of my hand made beads are kiln annealed, cleaned, inspected for cracks/flaws and packed properly. I have been working with hot glass (flameworking) for the past 21 years. I am a Self Representing Artist (SRA) My number is K-99. ....meaning all Lampworked Glass Beads are made by myself here in the US....(on Maui)
Many of my Czech Glass Beads are reproductions of Vintage Molds made with new glass today. I carry most of the glass beads that you see in my beaded designs.
I feel very grateful to be able to create what I love to do and to be able to pass it on. Thank you for taking the time to look at my site. Please contact me through e-mail or my etsy site for any questions. Please ask if you would like something special or more of any item. I will be glad to make a reserved listing just for you.
My Pictures are enlarged to show the detail and design work on the beads or buttons. Colors on monitors vary and I do attempt to make the pictures look as close as possible on my monitor, but it may not match yours. Some colors are hard to capture by a photo…like reds, greens or some reflective glass.
I truly aim to please!!!!! When you are leaving feedback and are not fully pleased...please let me know and give me a chance to work it out with you...as I am aiming for a 5 star rating,,,,, For refunds....please contact me and let me know within 7 days of their arrival. When they are returned to me, I will refund the price of the beads. If it is my fault for some reason, I will refund the shipping costs also.
I will be adding new items to my site weekly...so please check back to see what is new. Much Aloha, Sarah

Payment
Paypal is one of the safest ways for payment and would like all payments to be paid within 48 hours of purchase. We accept all major credit cards through our Etsy site. Both ways are fully safe and reliable.
Please contact me if you need more time to pay or want another color in a certain type or color of bead. I usually carry quite a few colors in each type of bead. I can e-mail you that information if I do not have it up on Etsy yet.
Please look at the policies of etsy.com for more information.
Shipping
NOTE: There is a Price increase of around $4.00 on all International Orders as of 2/2016!!!! Until I can get all my listings updated....I will be asking for whatever your order costs to ship.....and will give you back and extra amount that you may pay on your order!
All items will be mailed out to the address listed on the individual's PAYPAL account or information given to me through e-mail or phone. All addresses must match your credit card or PAYPAL account. I will ship out purchases within 48 hours of confirmed payment, excluding Saturday, Sundays and postal holidays.
I will be using 1st class US Postal Service with a delivery confirmation all orders unless you would like your package to go another way. Flat Rate Boxes are a wonderful way to ship most anything which usually gets to the mainland within 3 to 5 days! I use it all the time with no problem so far. Please let me know if you would like your order to go out Priority Mail or If you are interested in any other types of shipping and insurance..I all so do combined shipping...if you order a lot of different items...I will charge you only what it costs me to ship it with delivery confirmation...and if you would like insurance.... Please contact me before payment so we can arrange the proper fees for your purchase. A Flat Rate Box can hold a lot of beads or kits…and can be as heavy as you like for what ever fits inside the box.
Please NOTE: All Shipping Costs that I do quote on my etsy site are estimates on what I think it will cost depending on the weight of your package. If for any reason your package is over the cost I did quote...you will be responsible to pay the extra amount that is costs to ship your package. I only charge what the post office asks. (Plus the cost of a delivery confirmation) Which is put on ALL packages. If you are charged too much…I will give you a credit back.
Additional policies and FAQs
Disclaimers"
I now opened up my etsy site for everyone to buy larger amounts of my Czech and German Glass Beads and Beading Kits. Please let me know how many strands or numbers of what you would like. If I can not fill your order, I will let you know how many strands I do have in stock. If you have paid for them and I am not able to fill your order, I will credit you account right away. Thank you for your understanding.
All Hawaiian residents must pay a 4.167% sales tax unless you provide a State Tax ID and put that information on file with our store.

Pictures of Beads, Jewelry and Kits may look larger in the picture that what they actual are. I am giving you a close up detailed picture....so you can see the design of the bead or color...... I try to come as close as possible to the item that I am selling.

All Jewelry and Hand Made beads are Handmade by me Sarah Klopping and not made in China or a foreign country...they are made in the US. I all ways appreciate the support of those who want to support local or US Artists. All Handmade Glass beads sets are made to be close in appearance to one another, but they are handmade, so there will be subtle differences within the set of beads.

If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, please look again at our refund policy to see what we need to talk about and work out. I aim to please! Thank you again for visiting my site...I truly hope you visit us again. I will be listing new products each week or daily so please check back again.
