    Mesmerizing Moon Beads!

    I just LOVE the quality of ALL of the beads in my last order. I am always impressed with the quality of each and every item, the use of 'green' packaging, fabulous customer service, and super fast shipping. The Bead Chest is a treasure trove of very unique beads at reasonable prices and I shall continue to support this fine business. Heartfelt thanks for everything you have done over the years.

    Second time I made the mistake of ordering this. It’s not nice or pretty as the picture would suggest.
