First of all, 3 lucky people are going to win a selection of the beads shown above that Ekaterina sent to me.  Not quite all of them, because I'm going to using some to make a project to share with you in the future.  But I will be giving away most of them, for sure!

And second...you're not going to believe this...EVERYONE who signs up to enter will receive a gift card from Ekaterina to use in her store!  How generous is that??

GIVEAWAY ALERT!!!

So here's what you need to do...please read this carefully, because only people who follow these instructions will be eligible to win.  And I want you all to win!  Visit The Best Beads and come back here to tell us what style of Czech beads you love the best.  Then sign your comment with your email address.  We will not be following links to find it; you must leave it here in your comment.  You are welcome to spell it out if you'd prefer, for example, cyndi at mazeltovjewelry dot com.  If you tweet or post on Facebook or other social spots about the contest, you can leave a second comment and be entered twice!  Deadline: March 6, 2013

Picking a favorite bead is like picking a favorite child - impossible. But in the spirit of this giveaway, I'll force myself! I've changed my mind several times, browsing the website!
I love "30pcs Dark Red with Marble Stone Coating Squares Picasso Table Cut Beads 10mm" - so gorgeous! Thanks for the chance to win!

Definitely the 'Table Cut Beads" but I love the rectangles 'cause she has them in so many colours... I'm gonna say "Blue With White Waves", just 'cause I HAVE to pick, but they're all gorgeous!

Hard to pick a just one. The closest I can get is any of the table cut beads. Especially the ones with marble stone coating.

I like the Table Cut Beads especially the oval shape. I love beads with two different colors in just one bead. It's lovely :)

It's impossible to pick just one! But I will attempt. =) My favorites are the pressed flowers, and I am particularly fond of the 7mm scarlet ones, and the 16mm delicate violet ones. I have a hard time finding the bigger ones, and was delighted to find several colors of the 16mm ones!

I had a hard time deciding between the triangular leaves and the twisted ovals. But there were so many more great beads, too. I'd probably change my mind every time I looked at their site.

How can anyone pick just one? I guess if I have to I'll pick the Copper Fire Polished Beads. They're fantastic.

I love the Czech glass buttons do they count as beads? If not I love the daggers too, I have been making a lot of pieces with a student and using daggers. Although it's hard to decide because I use a lot of firepolish as well.

I really liked the milky white bicones. Bicones work better with my Lampwork beads to stabilize the large holes used to make the beads.
Great resource, I will revisit.

All Czech beads are beautifully therefore I cannot pick just one. I would be happy using any of them. I have used them entirely in a project and also have used them intermittantly with polymer clay beads I have made. Dixie Ann diamondix14@gmail.com

Hard to choose just one - but I do love the peacock dagger beads. And I do love the firepolished faceted rounds with an ab finish. briscoesharon AT gmail DOT com
I have always loved fire polish beads, but I think I love the table cut beads just as much especially the picaso finish ones

i love using fire polish crystals the best but also the czech shapes are great. i use so many when making beaded christmas deocaration. I have my favourite colours (amethyst/olive green/gold) but my favourite finish is mixing some AB with matte finish for an interesting christmas decoration.
I also love the new picasso beads and have a few that i picked up recently at a craft fair. they were expensive for me so precious to use.

I love this site as well as all the other sites I have found for beading. For me this contest opportunity presents a wonderful possibility, as a new to this field artist, to have some beads to add to my collection and further my beading "library". As others have said, I cannot choose just one style, for that matter even a few styles of beads, I love them all. My email address is monicajolly1001@yahoo.com thank you for this opportunity.

Czech Glass Beads / Fire Polished Beads / Faceted Rounds most of the colors were beautiful...

I enjoyed MOST of the colors BUT especially "30pcs Gold Faceted Rounds Fire Polished Beads 8mm"

my email at home is not currently working so, unhappily, I'm using my work email 'cause I don't want to miss out on this contest...~!

As I said, I am new into the beading world, winning this contest would help me in every way as I will be able to create with beautiful Czech beads, be able to share my creations on the internet and advertise for Czech beads and The Best Beads web page.

Your feedback Buttons! Also table - cut beads show fascinating glass inside
Fabulous giveaway! I pretty much love all beads, but since I am being pinned down here (giggle) I would say the twisted ovals are one of my favorites. In browsing, even though you didn't ask, I like the moonstone and love the crystal with AB, Brown and Pearl coatings shown on the faceted rounds.
ceyberg09@gmail.com
Very very hard to pick just one so I narrowed it down to three!

The rectangle table cut beads, the Picasso balls, and the props! But you cannot make me pick a favorite color!

I agree with everyone who said it's so hard to pick just one favorite! It's a tie between the table cut rectangles (especially the cream with amethyst since I haven't seen that color before) and the table cut squares. So fun!
