By means of the search filter you can then select your preferred colors, sizes and shapes. With this search filter you can use more than one selected requirement, like I want both brown and beige beads, square as well as round ones. Should you decide to omit one of these requirements, do click on these requirements once more to disarm them. Should you want to see more types at the same time, selections can be made as well by means of this search filter.

Of course there is the option to search by means of keywords. You will immediately see all products matching these words. Click on the photo to immediately find the selected product. In order to see all results you may click on the bottom line.

The more you order the more discount. Example: you want to order 2 bags, you can then click twice on the shopping basket button, you can also click on the photo for more information. An order form will appear on which you can enter your preferred quantity.

When you enter a product on to your basket it will immediately appear in the shopping basket at the right. This will remain visible all the time. You can remove a product from your basket. Click on the basket button and a more extensive page with lager pictures as well as the option to adapt quantities.

You also have the option to view just all new products (to be found under 'New'). Search filters work exactly the same here. Moreover all products from your wish list can be transferred from here to your shopping basket with one simple click.

Products will remain in your shopping basket until you have finished your order, you emptied your basket you yourself or in case you removed the cookies from your computer.

Payment

iDEAL

By iDEAL is very simple. After having completed your order you are directed to your own bank's internet site. All details required (account number, total amount to be paid, order number) are already entered. All you have to do is confirm payment. Your order will then automatically be changed to 'paid' so that is can be processed a.s.a.p.

Sometimes there is a malfunction because of which payment is blocked. You do not need to re-enter all your products in a new order. Your original order remains intact. In your order confirmation you will find a link through which you can try once more to get payment done.

Payment by direct debit

In this way you permit us to have the amount transferred from your bank account to ours once. Advantage is that your order will be shipped immediately and you need not bother about payment. This payment method is very safe for you as customer because, in case of abuse you can always ask for a payment reversal.

With this payment method, the only details you have to enter are bank account number and your name. The moment the amount is collected, your order number will be clearly visible on your copy.

This payment method is only possible for regular customers and when you have a Dutch bank account.

Creditcard

Payment can be done with Visa and MasterCard, the most accepted credit cards in the world. You can start payment after you have completed your order. Payment is done in a surrounding secured by Multisafepay. So your credit card details are not known to us. As soon as payment is done the status of your order is changed to 'paid' and can be shipped.

In case payment did not work you can retry later on. No need to remake an order, the original order remains intact. In your order confirmation you will find a link through which you can once more try to get payment done.

Product information

Prices are VAT included

All our prices include 21% taxes. We send an invoice together with the order.

Stock

Only products that are in stock can be ordered. Stock is checked at the moment you add a product to your shopping basket and on the moment you complete your order. It may be possible that a products gets sold out in between these two checking moments. You can check availability of what you have in your basket any moment by clicking ''check stock'. In case a product is not available the number may be changed to what is left in stock or you can delete the item from the shopping basket. We do not have the possibility to send you sold out products later on when in stock again. This is because delivery times differ very much for each product and there always is a chance that a product will never get back in stock again.

Material information

All our products are nickel free. Our products do not contain sterling silver, unless specifically mentioned.

Hole size

The size of a hole is measured by means of a small metal drill and is very accurate. A hole size of 1 mm means that 1 mm metal wire will pass through it easily. More trouble you will have with more flexible thread like wax cord of exactly the same diameter. There also is a possibility that the ends will fray, or that the cord is somewhat thicker than mentioned at the website. We advise you to work with a 0,4 mm margin. So with 1 mm wax cord use beads with hole size 1,4 mm. In any case it may be of use to cut the cord or thread somewhat diagonal with very sharp scissors or knife.
  • Use wax cord of somewhat longer length so that you can cut several times in case necessary.
  • Put on some nail polish on the tip of the cord to somewhat prevent fraying.
Pearls are hard to use with thicker thread. They are somewhat different from other beads. They are either of glass or synthetic with a cover of mother of pearl. Often the size of the hole on one side is somewhat bigger than the hole on the other side. This is no problem when working with eye or head pins. The same goes for thin stringing wire or very thin steel wire. Thick elastic thread and wax cord will pose problems. So it is best to use pearls together with thin thread or hard metal wire. The same problem as with pearls is when working with our cheaper wooden beads, as there outside layer was put on after the holes were drilled. These problems do not occur with all our other beads.

Warranty

In case you have received a damaged product send us an email at info@creadream.nl. The product will then be replaced.

We do all in our power to deliver products of good quality. They should remain o.k., without making stains or getting damaged rather easily. Discoloration of metal / metal look products cannot however be prevented. Take care to put your jewelry away safe (in a dry, closed spot, so not humid bathroom) and make sure not to spray perfume on them.

Should however a product not be what you expected it to be, please let us know. We always check the quality of our products but mistakes will always occur.

CreaDream Cares

CreaDream regularly donates beads and accessories for making jewelry to the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek hospital in Amsterdam. This is a specialized clinic in cancer research and does its best to make life as bearable as possible for its patients. They have a special Creative Therapy department where patients can relax on a daily basis by doing something they like. Painting, making mosaics and much more, even beading. Therefore we like to donate beads so that these patients can relax and find some distraction.

Want to donate yourself? How about these two institutions:



Moreover we donate wax cord to the Vereniging Ouders Kinderen en Kanker(VOKK). This is a group of families that have a child with cancer. Their mission is to support and guide families with children among them with cancer in all phases and work hard to optimalize care for child and family. One of their methods is de 'kanjerketting'(necklace for the best). When diagnosed cancer the child receives a cord with letter beads on it making the name of the child, a bead with an anchor,the sign of hope as well as a bead with the logo of the VOKK. The child will receive a new bead with every treatment and examination. Each bead is connected with a treatment, like chemo, injections, emergency hospitalisation, scan, operation or hair loss. There are also beads for super good as well as for super bad days. This KanjerKetting therefore tells the child's personal history, as all the beads on the cord stand for all the steps the child took on the long path of the treatment. The bead reward is a way to keep telling him/her with every treatment that the child is a top player, a Kanjer. Therefore the name: KanjerKetting. The beads are made of colorful Fimo clay and are specially made for the VOKK. Therefore CreaDream cannot help with beads in this case but it can help with the wax cord on which all the beads are strung.
