About

DesignerBeads.com has been selling beads and findings online since 1998.

During the first several years all the beads for sale were seed beads.

But a few years ago, proprietor Laurie Wright (who has a degree in fine art) began to make lampwork beads.  And now you can find them on this site, sold singly, in matching groupings, or as the featured components of finely crafted jewelry.

We hope you enjoy this site.  And if there’s something you particularly like (or something you wish we carried) please let us know.
