Complete jewellery-making kits include pre-selected beads, findings, and stringing materials for specific projects. Designed for various skill levels, these kits contain clear instructions and all necessary components to create finished pieces. Available for bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.

Totally beads have an incredible selection of quality products at reasonable prices and quick delivery. Their PDF guides and video tutorials are incredibly insightful to beginners and have helped me develop skills I never thought I had. I would highly recommend the company as they are a wonderful place to shop from.

I have just received my order. Thankyou so much. It was only ordered yesterday at lunchtime. I was a difficult customer because I wanted the impossible, however the wonderfully patient gentleman who took my order achieved it for me. Great service and super beads!!!

Have just received my order for size 6/0 seed beads which I ordered at the weekend. I am very pleased with my purchase and the speed they were sent. I was also surprised at the amount of beads in each pack. I will most definitely buy from this company again. Thank you

Amazingly fast service, I live on the Isle of Skye and many suppliers charge ridiculous amounts and take so long to send to the island. These guys are incredible, reasonable cost for postage and super quick. I ordered at about 1pm and had an email by 3pm telling me they were dispatched and they arrived on Skye the next day. Just brilliant!
