Our beads are a truly breathtaking selection of only the finest examples of glass, metal, wood, and shell, as well as fine gold and silver and semi-precious stones, collected from across the globe. We feature a vast collection that ranges from 18th Century European trade glass to contemporary “powder glass” from West Africa to wooden prayer beads from Nepal to the finest Opals from Australia. We also offer all the accompanying jewelry making supplies such as cords, findings, and tools.
