Beady Affair

The beads have a distinct variety in terms of pricing The beads have a distinct variety in terms of pricing as well as quality. They are available in packets (by kilos or grams) and also on strings. You can buy a variety of beads in bulk and decide later how to shape up your jewellery collection or buy single strings that you like, mix and match and get them bound at a local jewellery store.

Says twenty eight year old Keval Sharma, a corporate and a mother, “This place is heaven for those who want to economise and save money as well as those who want to spend to their hearts content.” Make a classy pearl bracelet matched with a glazing stone pendant or a hippie looking red long wooden necklace. The beads you buy can be moulded to make any type and form of jewellery you desire from rings and earrings to chokers and brooches. It’s definitely worth the effort because no matter how much you buy here, your pockets will be in tact in comparison to those big showrooms!

Choices galore… The beads are available in various designs, colours and shapes. Says K L Grover, manager of Shyamlal Radhakrishra (a shop offering beads in bulk), “Then prime shapes are round, cut and salli (pipe-shaped).” The prices differ depending upon the size, quality and quantity of the beads. Says shopkeeper Mahesh Torani, “Most of the beads you get here are self-manufactured at factories or obtained in bulk from factories that yes supply their goods to big showrooms. Thus almost all the wares here are genuine and long-lasting.”
