Who are we?

We live in Austin, Texas and sell beads across the country, through bead society bazaars and other national bead/jewelry shows.

After raising our three kids in the Puget Sound area, we moved into a condo in downtown Seattle. Urban living was a lot of fun but after 5 years, we were ready for a major life change. So in early 2002, we quit our corporate jobs and moved to the Texas Hill Country to start a new business, selling beads from around the world. Our goal is to bring you high quality beads, pendants, and other unusual items, below retail cost. Discounts are available for wholesale purchases.

Our products

We offer a wide selection of natural stone and semi-precious beads, in a variety of shapes, sizes, cuts and prices. We also offer semi-precious, stone, jade and mother-of-pearl pendants.

Our inventory is constantly evolving. Many of the beads we carry come in several sizes and styles, including faceted, rounds, briolettes, tumbled and rough cut stones. Below is a partial list of the stones we currently have in stock:

    Abalone Agate Amethyst
    Appetite Aquamarine Aventurine

    Citrine Coral Emeralds
    Garnets Hessonite Iolite
