Customers can't seem to get enough of the Add A Bead Systems and retailers are reaping the rewards of this phenomenon. Who knew that collectible beads strung onto silver bracelets would become the hottest jewelry ticket of the year? According to a recent article in Accessories magazine, ''the contemporary Add A Bead bracelet has replaced yesteryear's charm bracelet as the personalized must-have item, driving repeat business.''

Customers are flocking to retail stores where they can design their own Add A Bead style jewelry--selecting beads with special significance and building bracelets, necklaces and earrings for themselves or to give as gifts. And it seems that consumers are not concerned with price because it's so special to them, whether they're making a bracelet for Mother's Day, a new bride, a graduate or for themselves.

They are designing their own ''conversation pieces,'' showcasing personality, special events and life stories through beads. Due to the ease of use, customers can change the look of their pieces quickly, creating multiple designs while using the same base. And the best part is whether they are just starting a design or updating a current piece, this system keeps them coming back for more and more beads!

So how can you cash in on this hot jewelry trend? With the Dione Add A Bead System!
