About Pandorion...

We have been trading at our 16th century shop in Colchester, Britain’s Oldest recorded town, for almost 10 years. We offer a friendly, informative and efficient service to all our customers whether they come to the shop, buy online or at a fair.

We have such a large quantity of all types of beads that it is impossible to show everything on our website, so if there is anything you want in particular then give us a call, and we will help to find the bead you are looking for.

Our staff have been beading for many years and are able to offer help especially for those who are just beginning in beading. We know how frustrating it can be to follow some patterns and that you may need some help to get started.

How to order...

Ordering from the website could not be simpler. Click on Beads or Findings, add items to your shopping basket, and change your mind if necessary as you go. View the contents of your shopping basket at any time, then either go back to order more or go on to the checkout.

Please note: for beads sold by weight, the weights listed are approximate.

It is possible to order by a phone call to the shop if preferred.

Classes...

We are pleased to say the we are a City&Guilds Approved Centre for beading courses, and can also offer them via distance learning. We also offer many other courses and workshops. See Classes for details.

10% Reduction...

For our regular customers we have a loyalty card giving a 10% reduction on beads bought whilst attending a class or on the first Saturday of the month.
