Someone asked me recently why I love angels so very much, and how they became so synonymous with Riverside Beads.
Angels are generally known as supernatural beings found in various religions and mythologies. In Abrahamic religions and Zoroastrianism, angels are often depicted as benevolent celestial beings who act as intermediaries between God or Heaven and Humanity. In modern day it’s often believed that angels protect and guide human beings, as they continue to be immortalised as icons, jewellery and even grandiose statues like the Angel of the North.
I’m definitely more of the latter day thinking. I believe in hope and positive thinking and the idea that these beautiful little angel charms can put a smile on someone’s face each time they see them.
We started with just one little Sparkle Spacer Angel and, because we named it after one of our lovely ladies in the shop, of course more had to follow! Fast forward to now, we have a massive range of beaded angel charms, flower fairies and beaded characters. Most of our beaded character kits follow a tradition of being named after lovely friends and family. Most of the kits make either 10 or 20 charms, and include everything you need to do so.

We also have a handy blog which will help you to make your first sparkle spacer angel charm. You can view this here.
