We’ve had a lot of things going on here at Eureka Crystal Beads lately and we are working hard to expand the quality, selection and convenience of our webstore. Be on the look out for all this and more in the months ahead!

In the meantime, Eureka Crystal Beads will be at the Marlborough Innovative Beads Expo May 6th to May 8th. Not only are we be bringing the latest selections from Swarovski and the Czech Republic, we will also be debuting the Swarovski “Make and Take,” hosting a Swarovski information session and we’ve invited the fabulous Swarovski designer, Val Hirata, to teach one of the most popular classes in Tucson: Sparkling Fairy Lilies Necklace.

The Marlborough Innovative Beads Expo will take place at the Embassy Suites Hotel 10am – 5pm on May 6th and 7th and 10am to 4pm on May 8th.

The Swarovski “Make and Take” session will give you the chance to make your own Swarovski Crystal Cascade Earrings by linking teardrops onto jump rings. The project will take 20 to 30 minutes to complete and you will walk away with a gorgeous set of ready to wear Swarovski crystal earrings like those pictured. This project is for all levels so if you’ve never beaded before or are curious about the basics, this is the perfect opportunity to learn from the pros!

We will be running two sessions: Friday May 6th at 12:00 noon and Sunday May 8th at 2:00 pm. Your instructors will be Swarovski Ambassador, Val Hirata, and Eureka Crystal Beads’ own Walter Marczak!

Right before the Swarovski “Make and Take,” we will also do a short Swarovski presentation at which you can learn about the history of Swarovski, what makes Swarovski crystal superior to all other crystal brands, the latest shapes and colors and fashion trends in the beading and jewelry industries.

One of the most popular classes in Tucson at the SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS CYS Event this year was Val Hirata’s exuberant Sparkling Fairy Lilies Necklace and we’re bringing the fun and sparkle to the East Coast! Val invites you to “Come and see my imaginary world where the flowers are striped, polka dotted and sparkling!”

We look forward to seeing you there!
