We've moved our entire store onto a new web platform that enables us to build an on-line store that is much easier for you to use and for us to maintain.

We realize everyone shops differently. Some buyers like images, others like descriptions. Many of you want to "power shop" as quickly as possible, others want to leisurely browse and design as you go. We've added features for each type of buyer. We hope you will have fun exploring new ways to shop.

New Ways to Find Products Quickly:

• Try our new Bead Wizard in the left navigation bar for finding and buying your gemstone, glass, pearl & metal beads quickly and easily by selecting your material, style & size (if desired). Results in include images & bried descriptions
• Try our new Search All Products in the left navigation bar for finding and buying all products using keywords & phrases. All results include images and brief descriptions

New Ways to Navigate & Browse Through All Products:

• Our Left Navigation Bar includes a classical hierarchical navigation by categories and sub-categories (Beads>Gemstone>Faceted>Pendants... and so forth)
• Our new Top Navigation Bar includes links to navigate by Popular Categories, What's New, Seasonal Items, & Alphabetically by Gemstone
• Use the "Breadcrumbs" at the top left of the page below the top navigation bar to see where you are on the website and click on any link to go back to a previous level

New Features to Simplify Your Shopping:

• Detailed descriptions and images for most items are available by clicking on any image or product heading from the product and search results pages.
• New "Related Items" are being added to individual items so you can find simliar and complimentary products that other buyers have been interested in
• All items available for sale in our store should be in stock with our integrated inventory control. When there are less than 10 units of an item left, you will see the specific number remaining. Otherwise, the "Availability" will read "In Stock".

A Couple Things to Be Aware Of:

• Your old login at abeadstore.com will no longer work. You will need to create a new account using your email address and a password of your choice. Exception: If you created an account on PearlBeadSale.com after October 12, 2007 or on JewelryPlus.net after February 12, 2008, you may use that login at abeadstore.com. All our stores now share the same account information!
• Don't stay signed in to more than one of our stores at a time. Internet Browsers may have trouble keeping track of where you just were in your shopping cart. It's a good practice to "Sign Off" when you are done with your shopping visit or after you complete your order.
• Some packaging and prices have changed. Please make sure you are buying the quanity you intended
• This is a new store and we've spent months moving data into it. We know there are going to be some errors and some problems with links, product descriptions and so forth. Please let us know when you find problems so we can get them fixed. Just use the "Site Feedback" link at the bottom of every page in the store and fill in the blanks. We really appreciate it!

Both PearlBeadSale.com and JewelryPlus.net will continue to operate as Wholesale stores that are open to all buyers. You will still be able to shop there and combine orders, but when you are just ordering a few items, you will also be able to order them from abeadstore.com (coming soon).

We hope you will enjoy a better shopping experience. We are really only "just beginning" with our changes, so keep checking back for enhancements to make your life easier!
