Anyone have suggestions about who the best bead suppliers are?

Hi all,



I am new to making handcrafted beaded jewelry. I am looking for a good wholesale/bulk bead supplier that sells to the general public. I've noticed some of the really good suppliers only sell to businesses. Any suggestions?


It really depends on what you want - glass, crystal, stone, metal or precious metal.

Hi all,

Thanks. I'll try those. I am still trying to figure out which beads I like the best as far as the jewlery goes. I just want to make beautiful quality pieces.

Oops. I misunderstood the message. I thought the links you included were for beading suppliers. My biggest interest right now is for stone and wood pieces. But I also want to dabble with nice glass beads (not the cheap looking stuff) and some of the swarovski crystals. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
