Ari Mahller at JCK

We catch up with Ari Mahller, Founder and President of West Coast Jewelryon the show floor at JCK Las Vegas, the largest jewelry trade show in the United States.

Ari talks about the continued popularity of sterling silver and glass beads such as Pandora, Chamilia, Troll Beads as well as West Coast Jewelry’s own Pacific Beads Collection.

West Coast Jewelry’s Pacific Beads collection launched early 2010 with 2 distinct and unique glass bead collections, the Pacific 925, and Pacific Coastal Collections.  Additionally, the Pacific CrystalBeads Collection adds some bling to each unique bracelet or necklace created.

Pacific 925 Bead

The Pacific Beads 925 collection was created to offer a comparable product to the name brand designer bead collections at a fraction of the price.  The Pacific 925 beads are sold individually and each features a solid 925 sterling silver core, stamped with the “PACIFIC” brand twice on one side, and stamped “PACIFIC 925″ on the other.  With 100 distinct colors offered in the Pacific 925 collection, every bracelet or necklace will be a unique masterpiece.

Pacific Coastal Bead

The Pacific Beads Coastal Collection is our more affordable alternative.  Featuring an almost overpowering 300 glass bead designs, the Pacific Coastal Collection spans the color palette from vivid pinks and blues to calming greens and golds.  Sold in 3 packs, the Coastal Collection offers the most flexibility and affordability of any branded bead collection on the market.  The glass beads are capped with a sterling silver plated alloy core, which is how such striking glass beads are available at a fraction of the cost of other sterling silver beads.

Pacific Crystal Bead

The Pacific Crystal Collection feature colorful designs that can be used in conjunction with either the Pacific 925 or Pacific Coastal collections. Sold individually, the Pacific Crystals are created from silver plated alloy as well making them much more affordable than similar beads from other brands.

Below are a few samples of bracelets created from the Coastal Collection Beads and sold by West Coast Jewelry as “Coastal Creations” ranging in price from $39.95 and up for complete bracelets.  Considering that other brands often sell a single bead for that price, the Pacific Beads Coastal Collection is an affordable luxury sure to impress!
