In June, to kick off their 2^nd anniversary, Le Beaderie launched a fun, and hysterically funny contest which ran through the end of 2005. The contest, aptly named “Le Beaderie’s Ugliest Necklace Contest” encouraged customers, intending to travel to distant lands,
to take the necklace with them.

In December a $100 gift certificate was given to the customer who traveled the furthest with the beaded beast!

The photos here say it all…


Grand Prize Winner:
Take a look at the Grand Prize winner to the left. Claudine O’Malley brought the necklace to Hawaii on her honeymoon! How could this NOT win first place?


Honorable Mention:
Carlene Sumner redefined ‘the furthest’
by snuggling up with a wild ‘n waxy Hugh Heffner in Las Vegas.

Le Beaderie’s Ugliest Necklace was
a collaborative effort between all
Le Beaderie employees, including
Rhonda and Kathy. Everyone added
their own piece of ugly.
