Beads and Supplies!



A wide selection of beads! So many (and so ever-changing!) that I can't possibly show them all here!

Semi-precious, glass, metal, shell, clay, porcelain, hand-made lamp, bone, Delica's and seed beads.
(To name just a few.)

I also offer a selection of faceted gemstones and cabochons. And I am your source for precious metals, findings, tools and beading supplies.

Come in and see what's new today!

I have a very large selection of semi precious, glass, fire polish, crystal, hand-made lamp work, bone and shell beads. With an ever-changing inventory, the task of providing a catalog becomes too labor-intensive to keep up with. However, always feel free to with questions.

The majority of my semi-precious beads are strung on temporary strands which are approximately 16 inches long. The bead-count will vary depending on the size and shape of the beads. My glass beads are also on strands, but vary in length (e.g. anywhere from 4 to 16 inches long) depending on the style of bead. The sizes of round beads I generally have in stock are 4mm through 10mm. Sometimes I have 12mm available in limited gemstone type. I also have nugget beads and gemstones in various sizes as well as a large selection of gem stone chips. For type and sizes please for availability.
