Bead Store Online

Where is the best place online to buy wholesale beads ?

I am looking for somewhere that I can buy beads and beading supplies. Is there a wholesale bead company out there that anyone is fond of?

1. Do you want wholesale supplies because you are a retailer? In that case you will need confirmation by your accountant. If you mean good discounts for quantity, then try Fire Mountain Gems (in the USA) or The Bead Shop in Covent Garden (UK). Both have wonderful websites.
2. I agree with Fire Mountain Gems- they are my "go to" source with excellent prices, and a sliding discount scale - the more you buy, the more you save! They ship worldwide, too.
3. I'm another for Fire Mountain!! They will send you a free catalog also that not only shows you the beads in the EXACT size that they are, but also things they have put together using beads on those pages. I love the catalog for getting ideas, and like others said, they use the sliding scale so the more you buy, the more money you can save. I have checked out a lot of prices on Swarovski beads in specific, and they are very competitive and carry more colors than most of the other companies. It's easy to order from their website too, as you can just type in product codes and quantities, and have a great deal on shipping and weekly specials. (Sign up for their email updates so you can get these too. They also have an online gallery of design ideas in addition to the ideas in their catalog. GREAT website!! 0=)
4. You might take a look at Fancy Beads (http://www.fancybeads.com), my wife buys from them quite often for her jewelry projects.
5. Fire Mountain is good but another excellent source for beads is Shipwreck Beads (WA state, USA). They also offer a huge (over 900 pages) print catalog. http://www.shipwreckbeads.com/
6. FIremountaingems is a great one and shipwreck is also good but try auntiesbeads.com and try orientialtrading. It really depends on what you are looking for good luck
7. You may try www.mybeadpoint.com They sale in medium quantity best price, cheapest postage fee and send within 2 days worldwide.
