Some of our jewellery are produced in bulk, making it easier to restock when popular. We primarily work on demand, so the more our customers love a piece, the more likely it will return. However, certain pieces are limited editions and may not be restocked once sold out. This is especially true for silver items, which are often unique and may not be available again. Gold-plated pieces tend to be restocked more often.

Don’t miss out on these once in a lifetime pieces, friendly warning :).

While it's ultimately your responsibility and decision whether you wish to shower with your jewellery on to ensure it's pristine condition, we have a few recommendations:
•⁠ ⁠Sterling Silver Jewellery: While we don't recommend it, you can usually shower with sterling silver jewellery, the shine will remain intact as it's made from pure 925 silver, and NO your sterling silver jewellery won't turn black if you shower with them.
•⁠ ⁠Gold-Plated and Beaded Jewellery: We 100% recommend removing them before showering to maintain their shine and prolong their lifespan. We will not offer refunds or exchanges if you decide to shower while wearing gold-plated or beaded jewellery and they change colour or tarnish.
At the end of the day, it takes less than 10 seconds to remove your jewellery, and that will ensure it stays precious and beautiful for longer.
Take well care of them and keep them shiny, they are beautiful :).

DECEMBER 2021

Finding My Passion in Tough Times

Saras Beads & Jewellery began as a hobby to capture happy moments through handmade bracelets and necklaces. Each piece is crafted with love, turning challenging times into beautiful creations that bring joy and positivity to others.

SARAH'S INSPIRATION

Sarah was born and lived her childhood in Beirut, Lebanon. She founded Saras Beads and Jewellery. She started the business by making unique bracelets inspired by the colours of the Mediterranean Sea.

COMMUNITY SHOWCASE

Our first stall was at Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill and St. Nicholas Primary School, which later became Buxlow Primary School. These were the schools of our children, and we were able to showcase our products to both communities.

The success of those events motivated us to participate in other community events in Harrow, Wembley, and Edgeware.

EXPANDING MARKET REACH

Building on that, we started trading at Windsor, Burnt Oak, Watford, Gravesend, Headstone, Richmond, Romsey, Oxford, Bicester, Reading, Newbury, Southampton, Coventry, Enfield, the London Stock Exchange, the London Designer Outlet, Westfield Stratford, Westfield White City, Kensington, Fulham, Acton, and Islington.

STORE OPENING SUCCESS

We finally opened our first store at St. George’s Shopping Centre in Harrow.

It was all a combination of Sarah's persistence and consistency and the support of her family, Khalil, Yusuf, Mohamad, and Karim.

The journey started with beads and charms and evolved to include bespoke Sterling Silver and Handmade Gold Plated Jewellery with semi-precious stones.

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION JOURNEY

Saras Beads and Jewellery is a registered brand in the UK. It took the first step toward becoming an established brand, and there is much more exciting news to come.

All this wouldn’t have happened without the positive feedback, encouragement, and liking of our customers. They are the backbone of our success.
