Bead Categories

[cmjewels925]

Hi Gazza

The logical place for beads is in the jewellery making cat rather than jewellery. Please could you add the following and 'retire' the jewellery > beads cat in a couple of months (give peeps a chance to move their listings).

Crafts & Sewing > Jewellery Making > Beads >

Acrylic/Plastic
Ceramic
Clay/Fimo
Gemstone
Glass
Handmade
Metal
Pearl
Seed & Bugle
Shell
Wood
Other

with further sub-categorisation of glass and metal beads

Glass > Crystal
Glass > Lampwork
Glass > Millefiori
Glass > Pearl
Glass > Other

Metal > Cloisonné
Metal > Gold Plated
Metal > Silver Plated
Metal > Sterling Silver
Metal > Tibetan Silver
Metal > Other

I've probably missed some things (well, it is Sunday morning ) so if any bead sellers spot omissions, let me know and I'll add them to the list.

Thanks

Agree - the present category is inappropriate and misleading. I f I were a buyer - I'd be looking in Crafts.

I always thought the jewellery/beads category should be for pieces of jewellery made from beads. There is a sub-category for loose beads. But the entire beads category is loose beads!
Could we perhaps leave the beads category without the subcategories for actual jewellery pieces made with beads, and move all the separate and loose beads to the category suggested above?
