Frequently asked questions about the collection: metal beads, charms & pendants

Q: A stall at Portsmouth had a wrist band (like a watch strap) and charms that you could slide on to the wrist band. They are square looking and have animals on them or you can choose your initials. Do you know where i can get them from please?
A: To find the exact same thing you're going to have to chat to the stall holder. It sounds like it may have been some sort of pandora or troll type beads. These would be the only type of beads that would have big enough holes to slide down wide straps. Check out our selection of pandora style beads at: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Pandora-style-beads/c508

Q: Can you get engraved metal charms for bracelets e.g. 'Hand made by ____'
A: I'm afraid not, but you might be able to find a supplier via our links page at www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/home/links.php

Q: Do you do bee charms please in gold colour?
A: I'm afraid we don't have any bee charms at all. You may be able to find an alternative supplier through our links page at: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/home/links-shopping.php

Q: do you have any diamond/gem studded pieces
A: I'm afraid we don't have any diamante studded pieces, I have seen some quite nice pieces on other sites. You may be able to find an alternative supplier through our links page at: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/home/links-shopping.php

Q: Do you stock magnets for making fridge magnets? Also, do you stock keyrings making bits? If so, how much, w/sale? Thank you
A: I'm afraid we don't have any magnetic strips for making fridge magnets. We do have some keyings at:www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/home/search.php?searchfor=key+ring or some simpler big split rings at: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Split-ring-25mm/bo825

Q: Hi what is the best wire to use for the steampunk coin charms? im a complete beginner and want to make a bracelet and necklace from them. Also what other materials would i need to make these? equipment wise? x
A: These steampunk charms match with all of our antique gold findings, try the coin charms www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Thre-penny/bo5188 on a jump ring www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Jump-ring-5mm-AG/bo4092 then you can hang them off a bracelet. All you'll need is some round nosed pliers www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Craft-pliers/bo1055 to twist the jump rings open and then close them. Check out this project for making your own charm bracelet www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/projects/vintage-style-charm-bracelet/77 you can use this as a jumping-off point for your own design by changing around some of the beads and adding some charms.

Q: Hiya I've got trouble finding golden charms
A: Yes, they're not as popular as the silver ones so we have a smaller range, you'll find that we have antique gold versions of some of our charms like the teapots: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Teapot/bo3797 Just click on view full range to see all of the finishes available.

Q: If a bead is for example 5 x 3 mm, what does that actually mean - is it 5mm across the widest part and 3mm thick? I am trying to understand the sizes of the beads! thanks
A: The dimensions given generally correspond to the width and length of the bead, so a 5x3mm bead would be 5mm along the longest part and 3mm wide.
