“ I saw a necklace at a department store that I really wanted to wear to a social event, but it was more than I could afford. I told my friend about it and she suggested we just go to the bead store and make it! I was able to closely match the necklace which was being sold for $179 for only $57.”

So what is the fascination with beads and beadwork? A bead after all is simply a small, decorative object that is pierced for threading or stringing. For centuries, humans have been picking up small objects, drilling holes in them, and stringing them together to wear.

Whether it is because it's less expensive to create your own jewelry, or an enjoyable and practical hobby, or a way to express one's self by adorning unique creations, beads are popular with the public.

And thanks to public demand, the bead business is a booming business. Bead shops have grown from just a very small number many years ago, to numerous shops located just about everywhere today.

The growth of bead businesses is a national trend, and in fact, seems to have been helped from the recent economic downturn. Many have turned to beadwork as a great way to supplement their own income by selling their creations, or have found it to be a pleasurable new hobby that they now have time to do after leaving the corporate world.

The craft of making things with beads is still strong today as it has been for centuries.

As a long time successful Orange County establishment serving the needs of the beading community over the years, we are happy to continue to provide you with all your beads and supplies so you can keep on creating wonderful jewelry - there's no sign of you losing interest in beadwork any time soon!

Large department stores simply do not have the selection of beads and supplies to satisfy beaders, nor do they seem to care. These large department stores do not have variety, are unaware of trends, and are high priced.

Likewise, many bead businesses do not provide a wide variety or carry a large stock of in-demand items because they have not yet learned the cyclical nature of buyers, or are afraid to reinvest earnings back into their inventory for fear that the items may not sell do to changing buying behavior. Or the bead business may simply be cash poor and does not have the ability to keep a large inventory selection.

After almost 20 years of being in this exciting business, BEADS BEADS has learned the bead business inside and out. We have gone through all the hard knocks and understand the buying patterns and needs of customers. Because of this, we have become a very informative and reliable source for all your beadwork needs. We have what you are looking for when you want it, at a very affordable price. And in the unlikely event we don't have what you need, we know where to get it for you or where to send you to get it.
