Bead obsessed too?

We fully embrace our bead obsession here at Jewel & i

But, I bet you didn’t come here because you need beads.
You came because you loooooooooove beads…right?

The colour combinations that stop you mid-scroll and say…Oh wow!
You look at beads the way you look at your husband – with affection, appreciation, and the occasional ooooooh.
The texture of a bead that sparks an entire design idea.
The quiet thrill of discovering a new supplier that makes your heart do a tiny happy skip.
You just can’t get enough…right?

Yep…me too!

After 20 years, I know just how tricky it can be to find beads that actually make your pieces feel different. So, over the years, I quietly built my own go-to list of bead suppliers… the ones with the unusual, the distinctive, the slightly exotic finds that help your designs stand out from the crowd.

Eventually I thought, this may be useful for makers starting their jewelry journey 🤗

So I’ve gathered my trusted collection of truly great bead suppliers and put them all in one place for you.

As you know, we fully embrace our bead obsession here.
The kind where you sit down with a coffee and allow yourself a proper, judgement-free bead browse.
No explaining yourself.
No “I really don’t need these.”
And absolutely no one raising an eyebrow.

No judgement here.
None. At. All.

⚠️ WARNING THOUGH:
This may cause side effects – sudden creative urges, late-night bead scrolling, and dangerously full shopping carts. Sorry!
