Merry Christmas From Mr & Mrs Bead!
We wish all our customers and colleagues a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous, beady 2022!
We’re now back from our holiday in Tenerife. Great time, great food, but a few problems – more in the next newsletter. Lot of form filling and tests!
It’s been another tough year, especially during lockdown. However, we have managed to cram in 22 shows, just 10 less than normal. Last year we only managed 8, and that was good!
We’re all hoping the triple jabs will keep UK lockdowns at bay for 2022, when we plan on holding more of our own popular bead fairs. Some of these could be in new locations, like South Wales and Hampshire.
Last Bead Fair Report of 2021
Kempton Park Gem n Bead Fair
Kempton is always the largest Gem n Bead, and this one boasted over 42 exhibitors and a good attendance. Just as well at over £900 for the MrBead stand!
Next year the show is booked for 5th-6th March, 30-31st July and 12th-13th November 2022. Just three because of the Queen’s Jubilee – which is great because I think four Kempton’s is too much!
Harrogate Gem n Bead Fair
Everyone loves Harrogate, but not so much this year! I love snow, but it’s bad for business.
The first snow falls of the season killed this show. It was toasty inside the Pavilions with thick carpet and radiators, but roads over the hills were closed. Still, we had a good time and some bead buyers managed to make it.
See us back at Harrogate on 19th-20th February – our first bead fair of 2022.
List of 2022 shows is almost ready – hope to publish in our next newsletter. We’ll be back to around 30 bead fairs in the year, all over the UK.
Christmas Beads
Beaded jewellery makes the best presents – every time the design is worn, they think of the giver. Also, jewellery is easy to mail, tuck in a stocking or hang on the tree. You should be busy now selling at craft fairs or Christmas markets.
Many stores take one-third of their entire year’s sales this period. So ensure you make lots of necklaces and bracelets. You can always give away as presents if they don’t all sell.
A top Canadian jeweller says earrings are their most popular item this year ‘because they’re versatile, simple but sophisticated, come in varying styles and can make a big impact while fitting almost any budget.” Boxed necklaces with matching earring sell well and easy to wrap. Offer your customers free gift wrapping and mailing.
JEWELLERY IS THE IDEAL CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Jewellery is the ideal present for your loved ones. They’ll think of you whenever they wear it. Grab our budget ready-made necklaces, bracelets or rings – or there’s still time to make your own. Jewellery makes a lasting gift!
Since ancient times we’ve been decorating ourselves.
After we’ve taken care of food and shelter needs, safety and relations are our essentials. Once these too are achieved, we tend to crave self-fulfillment. Around this top tier of needs, we seek a feeling of accomplishment. Jewellery serves this yearning.
Other Benefits Of Jewellery:
- Makes you feel you belong to a particular group – social or cultural status.
- Shows wealth to attract love, respect or status.
- Self expression – sends a message to others, and perhaps to ourselves too.
- Makes you feel good – boosting self confidence.
Our mind can change our behaviour: our behaviour can change our outcome!

BOXED JEWELLERY FOR CHRISTMAS
Make sure all your jewellery for others’ is boxed for Christmas. This will enhance your design, making it more appealing and professional – and as a Christmas present, it will look more expensive and easy to wrap. You can buy quality boxes on eBay.
It’s also good to sell matching sets, like earrings or a bracelet with a necklace. Every lady, young or old, loves to receive jewellery – so get making right away!
