Wholesale Gemstone Bead Strands

Buying guide

Gemstone beads and bead jewellery

This collection brings together everything made from gemstone beads: loose strands for jewellery makers, finished stretch bracelets in several bead sizes, dainty 2-3mm bracelets and necklaces, and ready-made bracelet sets for counters.

Strands for makers

Strands are sold by bead shape (round, faceted, chips) and size in millimetres. A standard strand is about 15 to 16 inches long; the number of beads depends on the bead size.

Finished bracelets

Stretch bracelets come in common bead sizes and wrist sizes. For a counter display, the bracelet sets and the bulk order page make it quick to stock a full range of stones at once.

Natural, treated and man-made

Some bead stones are dyed or enhanced (for example many bright agates and howlite "turquoise"), and a few are man-made (goldstone, opalite). Those are marked in the title, so you can label them correctly in your shop.
