I’m not into beading (making jewelry and other items from beads) but I’ve got a few friends who are, and it’s something I’d like to learn someday. I get a few beading catalogs and drool over the occasional website. Some of the beads are SO pretty! It’s kind of strange – I don’t really wear much jewelry – but I like to make nifty things for friends, and I enjoy the creative process.
I ran across Beads of Cambay this afternoon. Apparently they are one of the top wholesale bead suppliers. They give discounts of up to 30% on a ton of beads and supplies – wide range of “high quality” gemstone beads and freshwater pearls. They even have wholesale beads!
You can read more information about the company and see their recent press release.
Their beads are drop-dead gorgeous. I love the semi-precious stones, especially the Amber. The prices on the wholesale gemstone beads are great. If you’re really into beading – be sure to check into their wholesale discounts.
For those who are into brick-and-mortar, lay-hands-on-before you pay type buying, sorry (welcome to the 21st century!) However, Beads of Cambay does the Intergalactic Bead & Jewelry Show. (I’m not thinking you’ll meet anyone from another galaxy there. But, you never know!)
I LOVE to bead! I beaded iPod lanyards like crazy. I beaded lanyards for the nurses in the cancer center, they say everyone asks about them.
I don’t have time
. I used to bead while watching internet TV.
I like my beaded necklaces better than what I can buy cuz I just am not a delicate necklace kind of girl
.
I can get them wholesale… muuuhahahahaha!
OMG… that site is AWESOME. Think the beads the color of the breastplate of the priests… cool
Thanks for feeding my bead addiction…
Hi Kathi
If you are thinking about doing some beading BeadersShowcase.com will really give you inspiration. We don’t sell anything there, it is just for Beaders to showcase their work, and boy is there some amazing talent.
Just thought you may be interested.
