To purchase beads there are many alternatives in the way to shop for them. Beads are available as a single or as part of a jewelry item. Popular jewelry items include necklaces, bracelets and caps.

Firstly, bead shops are available in shopping malls. This is possibly the cheapest means of purchasing a single bead. The stores will purchase a large amount of each type and size of bead at a lower price from wholesale and then pass on part of the savings to the customer. This form of bead shopping will enable the purchase to buy as many single beads as are required in order to make a personal item of jewelry or other beaded item. Shopping malls very often sell every type of bead imaginable, the types of beads include seed beads, crystal beads, glass beads, lamp work beads and silver beads, etc. shopping malls also sell beaded jewelry items at reasonable prices. These items may be fashionable, off purchases or of unusual requirements.

Secondly, specific outlets are also an option when one purchases beads. Swarovski is the most popular outlet of crystal beads. Therefore many customers may prefer to deal directly with that specific supplier. This will ensure that the crystal beads are genuine and possibly offering the most choice. Specific outlets may be more expensive because of the brand names that are usually attached. This is also the case when considering the purchase of jevelry items from specific outlets.

Thirdly, catalogues are a hassle free means of purchasing beads and beaded items. The customer will usually call the shop for the required catalogue and within one or two weeks the catalogue will be delivered. The customer can then send off the desired purchase by post or over the phone. Payments can usually be made by credit card either at the time of at a later date. It is important to consider postage and packaging costs when catalogue purchasing.

Finally, the Internet is quick and efficient source of purchasing beads. This is especially useful if rare or collectable beads are purchase these types of beads. Shops are also available online and this can be an easy purchasing method. Again, many Internet companies will also require an additional charge for postage and packaging.

參考譯文:

買珠子的方式有很多種。可以單個買珠子，也可以作為珠寶首飾中的一部分。大眾流行的珠寶首飾包括項鏈、手鐲和鑲嵌珠寶的帽子。

首先，大型購物商場就有珠寶店。要買到最便宜的單個珠寶要數這里了。這里的珠寶店從批發商那里以低的價格大量購進各種款型和規格的珠子，然后讓利于消費者。這種形式的珠子購買方式可以使購買者想買多少珠子，以便于定制個人珠寶首飾或其他鑲嵌珠寶的物件。購物中心總是出售你可以想像得到的各種各樣的珠子，包括植物種子做成的珠子、水晶珠子、玻璃珠子、能照明的珠子、銀珠子等等。大型購物中心還以比較合理的價位銷售鑲珠的首飾。這些首飾有可能是時尚的，不供出售的或者是按特殊要求定制的。

顧客都愿意直接與那些專營供應商交易。這樣可以確保買到的水晶珠子是真貨，而且有可能有更多的選擇。專營店的珠寶價格可能會比較昂貴，這是因為珠子上面通常幬有商標。當你考慮購買專營店的珠寶首飾時更是如此。

第三，按商品目錄購買珠子和珠寶首飾會省去很多麻煩。顧客通常打電話向商家索要產品目錄，商家會在一兩周內發送目錄。然后顧客通過郵寄或電話的方式訂購想要的產品。通常可以用信用卡當時付款或晚些付款。重要的是，按目錄購買貨物時要考慮郵資和包裝成本問題。

最后，網絡是一種快捷、高效的購買珠寶的方式。尤其是需要購買稀有珠寶或是要收藏珠寶時非常有用。現在還設有專門的地方以方便珠寶收藏者交換和購買各種類型的珠子以及網上商店這種便捷的購物方式。重申一下，許多網絡公司會因郵資和包裝收一些額外費用。
