10 x magnetic 'hematite' small oval beads, approx 5mm x 8mm, silver coloured, for jewellery making and crafts, PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION
Here are 10 of these beautiful magnetic beads for jewellery making and other bead craft projects. They are oval shaped, approximately 8mm long by 5mm wide, with the hole running lengthwise through the middle.
You will notice that I have placed inverted commas around the word 'hematite' in the item title. These beads are commonly sold as 'magnetic hematite' but are, in fact, a man-made material and not a natural mineral that has been altered in some way to make it magnetic. I am also making no claims about health or other benefits. I just think that these are pretty beads and great for making wrap-around jewellery :-)
Please be aware that these are not the very strong 'neodymium' magnets, that you may find in toy bead modelling sets. These are much weaker magnets that are suitable for 'wrap-around' jewellery designs in which a number of beads will be needed, in order to create a fastening - the exact quantity will depend on the design. For example, a front fastening, lariat necklace would not need a very strong closure, so only a few beads would be needed. If you wanted to make a wrap-around bracelet, you would need to use rather more.
These beads have a silver coloured finish and have a small hole (about 1mm).
You'll find my full range of magnetic beads in the Other Beads section of my shop.
Thanks for looking!
Please note that I only accept
payment in UK pounds sterling.
Multiple
Item Purchases
For multiple item purchases, I offer
combined postage at the rates detailed under the ‘Postage, returns &
payments’ tab, on condition that the items are paid for in a single
transaction. Please do not make a payment until you have selected all
the items that you would like to add to the order. If you are having difficulty
with this, please contact me for advice.
In most cases, the combined postage
rate should be applied when you complete the checkout. If, for any reason, the
charge displayed on your payment total does not match what you had expected
please contact me so that, if necessary, I can correct your invoice manually
before you complete the payment.
Postage
Rates
UK: For my normal ‘buy it now’ shop items,
I charge a flat rate for all orders, regardless of size, weight or number of
items. Orders will normally be posted within one working day of payment being
received, using standard First Class. For large orders, I may use a tracked
first class style service, at no extra cost to you.
International:
My international postage rates are
dependent on the weight of the heaviest item in the order. If no single item
has a packed weight of over 100g, I will charge the lower rate, regardless of
the number of items, provided that the order is paid for in a single
transaction.
If at least one item within the
order has a packed weight of more than 100g, then I will charge the higher
rate, regardless of the number of items, provided that the order is paid for in
a single transaction.
A single quantity of the item in
this listing, plus packaging, will weigh less than 100g, so the rate displayed
under ‘Postage, returns & payments’ will be the lower postage rate for your
region and will apply to your order unless you add a ‘heavy’ item. If you do
add a ‘heavy’ item, you will need to check the listing for that item to see
what the postage charge for the order will be.
The actual item price and postage
cost shown will include any additional taxes and duties that ebay must collect
in order to comply with cross-border obligations.
Orders will be sent by standard
Airmail and will normally be posted within one working day of payment being
received. I will obtain proof of posting for each international order that I
send.
Exclusions:
Germany: As a sole trader, I’m afraid that it’s
not viable for me to purchase a packaging license, as required under current
German regulations, so I’m currently unable to accept orders for posting to
Germany. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
Russian Federation: Please note that I will no longer post
orders to the Russian Federation.
One-off
auctions
From time to time I will run
auctions for goods which are not my normal stock items. Where these are lighter
than 250g (packed weight) and also small enough to be posted as 'large letters'
(i.e. the package, including all necessary padding will be thinner than 25mm),
then they can be combined with other items in a normal order, attracting the
postage rates set out above.
For items that are larger or heavier
than this, my normal postage charges will not apply and I will specify the
postage cost for each individual auction. If you win such an auction and would
like to combine the item with others from my shop, the postage charge will be
the one specified in the auction listing. If there are any difficulties, or if
you would like to combine two auction items into a single order, at a reduced
postage rate, please contact me before making any payments.
