The word vintage has a variety of definitions, depending on the dictionary you consult. Here in our beautiful valley, we apply the word to the season's yield of grapes or wine but it can simply refer to the period of origin of a product. It also implies quality - the best and most characteristic of the period.
When it comes to beads, the beads have to be at least 35 years old and have unique value and appeal. We have sourced a variety of seed and pressed beads from European manufacturers, many of them no longer producing beads. Recently we have also been delighted to find a few beautiful cabochons and components that are sure to delight you.
