"Waiting For The Sun" - Mar. 20 - 22
2026-03-20 - 2026-03-22
Moonstone Earrings. Some Assembly Required.

On March 20, 2026, the Vernal Equinox arrives—equal night and day, perfect balance as the sun crosses the celestial equator into the north. In Portland, Oregon, where mellow vibes and centered calm define our style, we embrace this moment of harmony.
BDC’s low-key promotion celebrates with semi-precious gems that capture inner fire and cosmic light:

Labradorite — flashes of spectral color, like northern lights in stone
Moonstone — soft, glowing adularescence, lunar intuition
Sunstone — warm, sparkling aventurescence, solar vitality
Opal — vibrant play-of-color, fiery rainbows within

These stones echo the equinox’s equilibrium: moon and sun, night and day, subtle shimmer and bold iridescence.
Browse our collection of round beads and select faceted options—perfect for jewelry that feels grounded yet alive with energy.
Drop by Friday through Sunday for this quiet, intentional spotlight. No fanfare, just beautiful stones aligning with the season’s balance.

Find your spark at BDC.

A Weekend Visit !
Friday Thru Sunday
Beads at Dusti Creek
Welcomes a
Janu Gems Trunk Show

You already know that Theodore brings
Plenty of High-Quality Beads,
At all price points.
BUT …

What’s Special for This Visit?
Spoiler Alert: Theodore just returned
from a Trip Home: Greece & India.
So expect Great Prices
& Even More Selection!

Theodore always brings Semi-precious, Precious, Natural Stones & Pearls personally selected during his trips to the sub-continent.

This time, he’s bringing hanks of “micro-faceted” semi-precious seed beads. Like regular seed beads, except with an attitude.

But there will be other pieces that will surprise you. Totally Spectacular in every way. Opals, Red Spinal Strands, Tsavorite Green Garnet, Chrysoprase, Rose cut Sapphires, Lavender Turquoise, London Blue Topaz, Bi-Color Tourmaline, Boulder Opal, and on and on, etc.

And while the price tag sometimes says, “Breath Taking,” Theodore also always brings strands at more affordable prices. Something for every budget.
Many of our Customers have shopped with Theodore before. And they look forward to his visits. They know that what distinguishes him from others is that you can talk directly to the individual who sourced and imported the very beads you’re considering. And they know that he stands behind his offerings. He has to. He will be coming back and wants to earn your repeat business.

We think all these factors combine to create a marvelous Value & Opportunity for you, our customers.
Our classroom will overflow for three days (this Friday through Sunday), with even more tables extending onto the main floor. (Why do you think he brought that BIG van?)

There are plenty of exceptional offerings, & all at extraordinary prices.
So, would it be inaccurate to call Theodore a “Rock” Star?

The old adage says, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”
