Most of our beads and stones are supplied by two wonderful collectors who've spent years handpicking the best, and now generously sharing doubled items. 

Our gemstone pieces are semi-precious. To keep costs low yet accessible to quality stones, we buy vintage dating as far back as the 2000s with grades AA and AAA.
