Beads from Hong Kong

Who would have thought I'd be ordering beads from Hong Kong??? Well, I did and they came in this week. It only took them 15 days to get to me...pretty good, I thought. I am so excited to have genuine rubies to make rings, earrings, and necklaces from. I have already made a ring (just had to make one for myself since it's my birthstone) and need to do some photography. I hope to have a picture up within the next few days - stay tuned. Now I need to get some more precious beads...sapphire, emerald, etc. One good thing just leads to another!
