What's in the Wild West Wonders Collection?

Yee-haw! Boy, do we have a treat for you! Already flying off the shells, our Wild West Wonders seems to be the hit of this summer so far! But what exactly is inside? Here's a breakdown!

As the orange dust crunches beneath your boots and the warm wind brushes against your cheeks, you savor the freedom of the open range. Fix your cowboy hat, and let your compass guide you towards the wonders of the West and the wild vastness of inspiration!

Eureka's July 2024 Wild West Wonders Collection is a classic on the one hand, and an exquisite and original mix on the other. Turquoise is one color that all beaders seem to love, and the way it pops with brown, bronze and antique gold is something that has been admired for at least centuries, as this is one of the most frequently used color combos in the history of clothing and accessories. The collection has shades of turquoise as its base, with natural representatives of this color included: amazonite cube beads and turquoise faceted beads. To this base, we added all the shades of brown and bronze that matched, and we didn't stop at antique brass findings. We added a patina copper button that is sure to be the star of the collection, there's antique gold patina finish on crystal stones in the custom Krakovski accent mix, there's bright copper in the Firepolish, reddish brown in seed beads and soft velvety cocoa brown in Krakovski pearls, plus a dash of black.

The collection features our "collection classics", like Krakovski fancy stones in the form of the custom Wild West Wonders accent mix, a strand of crystal pearls, or seed beads, including a Miyuki size mix in Turquoise Blue Picasso (15/0s, 11/0s and 8/0s), a tube of Miyuki 11/0 rounds in Lt. Bronze, a tube of 6mm Miyuki bugles and one of TOHO Treasures. There is a strand of Firepolish beads, a tube of SuperDuos and one of Ginkgo beads. In the findings section, we've provided some classic ear wires as well as a practical toggle clasp that's on theme: it has a feather for the bar!

The Wonders

Some products in the collection deserve a special mention, as they are unique, limited, or brand new:

• Natural faceted turquoise beads: this long strand will be perfect for beadwork as well as stringing delicate bracelets or a necklace;
• Natural amazonite cubes: these soft, rounded cubes of natural amazonite, of which you get 15 in the collection, add a unique rustic touch to the assortment... they are so extraordinary that we only have this batch and there will be no more!
• Custom Krakovski Accent Mix: the beauty of this mix of stones lies in the gold patina finish the large stones have; they will look simply stunning together;
• A large patina wash copper button: the ideal statement focal perfectly reflecting the character of this collection;
• A custom Miyuki size mix: it's not a common solution, but the Wild West Wonders Collection is one of those cases where this was an absolutely perfect choice. Create gradual patterns and bezels all in harmonious monochrome, and fill in spaces with the same beautiful Picasso color, no matter the size you need. The mix includes the 3 most popular sizes: 15/0, 11/0 and 8/0.
• Horseshoe slider beads: straight from our European manufacturer, these top-quality antique brass findings are as classy as they are fun. String a horseshoe on, then put a bead inside, and go out the other hole. Use in bracelets, but also earrings and necklaces.
  

In addition to all of these goodies, the collection contains a spool of matching Griffin silk cord, and a bag of antique brass 2mm crimp tubes to finish necklaces and bracelets made with it.
