Where do you buy your beading supplies?

I don't buy beading supplies, but I have heard lots of good things (here and elsewhere) about Fire Mountain Gems. Also, since you are on Etsy, you might want to search for supplies there. There are a lot of people who sell beads there, and you may be able to find some good deals on smaller lots of beads.

I too am into jewelry making, and I just buy my beads from the local craft stores, such as Michael's and some others. I think it's great that you made this post because I am looking for a good website as well. I don't sell anything I make though, because I like to wear it! Lol. I hope you have good luck selling what you are making! And happy beading! :)

you should really check out Fire Mountain Gems. HUGE catalog its like 500 pages or so. catalog is free too. they have all the supplies you could need..and tons of beads ie: gemstone, glass, metal, natural, pearls, acrylic, seed, and crystal beads, etc etc. tons. http://www.firemountaingems.com/

Hey Mango, I'll put in a nod to www.firemountaingems.com like the other posters did. Be sure to check out their clearance section. I swear I think I did most of my shopping "outlet". You can also buy in either big or small amounts. Be sure to get on their mailing list to get heads up on sales and special "events" they have. They have really good customer service and even throw in little freebies with your purchase. Another place you might want to check out is Ebay. They are many reputable bead sellers there. I have bought many natural/stone beads on Ebay and have always been pleased withthe quality and the (most importantly) the price I paid. Just be sure to double check the shipping, if you are familiar with eBay, you know that's where sellers often try to get you. :-)

I also buy from Fire Mountain but I also look through E-bay, I have found tons of beaads through there. I also shop at WanderingBull.com. They have some great native American craft items.

Fire Mountain online has a huge variety and great prices! YOu should check it out. If you're only making stuff for personal use, the Michaels etc. is ok, but if you're trying to profit, then you need to buy wholesale!

I find a lot of good deals on lampwork beads on eBay. A lot of auctions start at 99 cents or less and there is so many bead sellers on eBay, that you can usually snag a deal for cheap.

I have found some great bargains on eBay and there are loads of sellers on there, offering some wonderful beads at bargain prices

I have fren here selling amble. He found the raw amble rock in local jungle, then process them in his own, and selling them in bulk. If you are interested, i could send further infomation to you because he doesn't has a commercial website.

I have been beading pretty much ever since I remember, so I have a huge collection! I have limited myself to only buy precious metal beads, gemstones and swarovski until I have used some of the beads I have already. I do sell my beads - everyday - to family, friends and aquaintances, sometimes to people online who are on the look out for a special type of bead. I buy my gemstones from Australia (locally) and my other beads from USA. I love beads!

Hi there, I actually am liquidating a beading business I recently shut down due to lack of time to pursue it. I have over $10k worth of gemstones from Turquoise from Arizona, to Brazillian Aquamarine, several cuts of Amethyst, Garnets, etc...also beading wire, findings, unique pendants, etc...that I am trying to sell. I am just trying to liquidate it to people that have a love for jewelry making. If you are interested please email me, I am extremely motivated to below wholesale costs. I recently moved into a new place and have no room for the inventory. I also have jewelry display items like neck forms that haven't been used, jewelry transportation and display bags, etc... Please email me if interested m7s7jones@gmail.com Sarai
