Welcome to Gilded Beader llc

We love to create with beads because of the many colors, materials, shapes, and sizes. Add to this the many connectors, settings, and metals, providing never-ending possibilities.

I came to beading late in life. I had always been fascinated with stone beads (with their many natural colors) and wanted to start beading many years ago, but it was hard to find bead shops.

I was inspired one day when we came across a bead shop while on vacation and stopped in. What I did not expect was that my husband, Richard, would also be inspired.

We discovered so many types of beads that we had no idea existed: Swarovski crystals, semi-precious stones (Hematite fascinates me), seed beads, metals, acrylics, and so many more! They come as bicones, flats, rounds, large, small…so many sizes and shapes WOW. We were hooked!

Swarovski no longer supplies stock to smaller jewelry makers. Many of the crystals currently in our designs are from Swarovski. Other crystals are now in use in new designs as well as the Swarovski crystals that are still in our stock. Crystal brand will be noted in the descriptions.

I hope you enjoy our pieces as much as we enjoyed creating them.

I want to thank you for visiting our website, Gilded Beader LLC. We are in Mount Vernon, Washington, but only sell our creations online and at person-to-person venues on occasion.
