Description
Here at My Beads Australia, we specialise in semi precious gemstone beads. What better to add quality and appeal to your jewellery than the natural gemstones of the earth. We endeavor to bring you the best quality gemstones at very affordable, wholesale prices.
We now stock a massive range of gemstones; everything from chip beads (at our famously low price of just $5.00 per strand for most common stone types!) to the standard round beads (in polished, faceted and matte finishes). We also love to hunt down the unusual and hard-to-find shapes, but these will almost always be of limited supply! Our range is of stone types is growing – at present we stock approximately 70 different stone types; from the common natural crystals like Amethyst or Rose Quartz, to the more rare like Morganite, Apatite, Malachite and Moonstone. We are always open to suggestions and our range will continue to grow until, well, we have every stone type (one can wish!).
We have been working with our trusted Gemstone suppliers for many years, and 100% stand by our quality and authenticity. Any stones that have been dyed or stabilised have been labelled as such. We are passionate about gemstones, just like you!
