PRICING
Spoilt Rotten Beads reserves the right to change, without notice, any pricing in the case of error or in the case of manufacturers increasing cost of materials.
QUALITY
As semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls and tagua nuts are natural products, colours, shapes and sizes may vary slightly. Miyuki produce a vast array of seed and delica beads with many different finishes. Each finish will react slightly differently to friction, light, cosmetics and detergents. Miyuki have produced a handy guide that you can use to check the durability of a beads finish – you’ll find it here www.miyuki-beads.co.jp
