BELMONT FINANCE LLC Partners with Artisans to Bring Vibrant "SuperDuo" Beads to Market, Fueling Creativity & Small Business Growth

Plover, WI – November 8, 2023 – BELMONT FINANCE LLC, a Wisconsin-based financial services company committed to supporting small businesses and fostering economic growth, today announced a strategic partnership focused on the distribution of “SuperDuo” beads – tiny, two-hole beads gaining massive popularity among jewelry makers and crafters. While traditionally known for providing working capital solutions, BELMONT is diversifying its portfolio by directly enabling the supply chain for this booming creative market. “We’ve been watching the maker movement for a while now,” says a representative from BELMONT FINANCE LLC, located at 300 Plover Rd, Plover, WI. “And we saw a real opportunity to not only support a growing industry but also help individual artisans access the materials they need to succeed. It's a natural extension of what we already do – providing the resources for folks to build something great." What are SuperDuo Beads? If you're not already in the loop, SuperDuo beads are small, glass beads with two holes drilled through them. Sounds simple, right? But that simple design unlocks a world of possibilities for jewelry and craft projects. Think of them as tiny building blocks. Unlike traditional beads with just one hole, SuperDuo beads can be strung together in complex patterns, creating intricate weaves, stunning floral designs, and unique, textured jewelry. “They’re a game changer, honestly,” says Sarah Miller, a jewelry designer based in Milwaukee who has been using SuperDuo beads for over two years. “They’re perfect for creating really detailed work, and they're surprisingly versatile. I can make everything from delicate earrings to bold statement necklaces with them. Before these, my designs felt…limited.” Why the Buzz? A Crafter's Perspective So, what makes SuperDuo beads so popular? Several factors are at play. First, the size. They're small – typically around 5mm – which means you can pack a lot of detail into a small space. This is perfect for delicate designs and intricate work. Second, the two-hole design. This allows crafters to create weaves and patterns that are impossible with traditional one-hole beads. They connect beautifully, making for strong, durable jewelry. Third, the color range. SuperDuo beads are available in a huge array of colors and finishes – from classic metallics to vibrant jewel tones and everything in between. This gives crafters endless options for creating unique and personalized designs. “I love that I can mix and match different colors and finishes to create exactly the look I’m going for,” explains Mark Johnson, a beadweaving enthusiast from Madison. “It’s all about creativity, and SuperDuo beads give me the freedom to express myself.” BELMONT's Role: Streamlining Supply & Supporting Artisans BELMONT FINANCE LLC isn't just importing and distributing beads.

And for many, that starts with having access to quality materials like SuperDuo beads.” Beyond Jewelry: Creative Applications Galore While SuperDuo beads are hugely popular in the jewelry-making world, their creative applications extend far beyond earrings and necklaces. Crafters are using them to: Embellish clothing and accessories: Add a touch of sparkle and texture to handbags, scarves, and even shoes. Create decorative art: Use them to create mosaics, wall hangings, and other unique art pieces. Make personalized gifts: Create one-of-a-kind gifts for friends and family. Embellish home décor: Add a touch of whimsy to lampshades, picture frames, and other home décor items.
