FAQs:

Yes! Nature Beads offers wholesale and bulk pricing for jewelry designers, boutiques, retailers, creative businesses, and fellow makers.

Because many of our beads, shells, components, textiles, and jewelry-making supplies are artisan-made, naturally sourced, vintage, imported in small batches, or produced specifically for us, our wholesale program works a little differently from traditional large-scale suppliers.

Our current wholesale discount levels are:

SUNSHINE — 15% off qualifying orders of $350+
GLITTER — 25% off qualifying orders of $550+

Larger quantities of select products may qualify for additional custom bulk pricing. If you're planning a substantial order or ongoing production, contact us before purchasing and we'll be happy to discuss quantities, availability, and pricing.

If you have a valid resale certificate, email us a copy and we can set up your account for tax-exempt purchasing where applicable.

Please note:

  • Vintage textiles and vintage beads may have their own sliding-scale bulk pricing.
  • Finished jewelry, custom work, and some rare or limited-quantity items may not qualify for standard wholesale discounts.
  • Wholesale discounts apply to qualifying merchandise and may not be combined with other promotions.

Absolutely—just ask!

Availability depends on the item. Some products are regularly stocked, while others are handmade, naturally sourced, vintage, seasonal, imported in small batches, or gathered specifically for Nature Beads.

If you need more than the quantity currently shown online, contact us with the item, quantity needed, and your timeline. We can check available inventory and, when possible, source additional quantities or arrange a larger production run.

For large projects, boutique collections, jewelry production, events, or other specialty orders, please contact us before purchasing so we can discuss availability, lead times, sourcing, and custom pricing.

Yes. We can custom drill many of the natural shells we carry for jewelry making, accessories, décor, and specialty projects.

Depending on the shell and your project, we may be able to accommodate different drilling locations and hole sizes. This is particularly helpful for designers purchasing shells in larger quantities who need them prepared and ready for production.

Because every shell is naturally formed and some species are more delicate than others, drilling options vary by shell. Send us the shell you're interested in, approximate quantity, preferred hole placement or size, and how you plan to use it, and we'll let you know what is possible.

Yes! Our açaí beads are dyed in small batches in our Florida studio, which gives us flexibility when working with designers, boutiques, and creative businesses.

For qualifying quantities, we may be able to create custom color palettes or larger batches of açaí beads for jewelry collections, seasonal designs, events, and other creative projects.

Because açaí is a natural seed, slight variations in size, shape, texture, and color absorption are part of its character. These variations are also what make each batch unique.

If you're looking for a particular color or palette, contact us with your quantity, color reference, and timeline so we can discuss the possibilities.

Yes! We love working on special projects.

Depending on the design and materials, we can create custom and small-batch jewelry using many of the natural beads and components available through Nature Beads, including açaí, tagua nut, seeds, shells, and other materials.

Over the years, we've created açaí and tagua jewelry for Hallmark, as well as pieces for independent boutiques and other businesses.

If you have a design, collection idea, color palette, or even just a concept in mind, send it our way. We'd be happy to talk about materials, quantities, production, and what we can create together.

In many cases, yes.

Nature Beads has been sourcing beads, natural materials, jewelry components, textiles, and artisan-made goods from around the world since 2008. Some of the products in our shop come from makers and suppliers we've worked with for many years.

If you're looking for a larger quantity, a particular material, or something related to products we already carry, contact us. We can't promise we'll find everything—but we're always happy to check our existing sources and see what may be possible.

We typically respond within a few hours during business hours or by the next business day.

Nature Beads is a small business, so please allow a little extra time for messages sent overnight or over the weekend. We do our best to step away from our devices occasionally—although we're admittedly not always very good at it.

Nature Beads is currently an online-only shop. Our Florida studio is a working creative space used for sorting beads and natural materials, dyeing açaí beads, custom drilling shells, photographing products, creating, packing, and shipping orders rather than retail shopping.

In other words: it's a wonderfully creative working studio—and usually a beautiful mess.

Everything currently available for purchase can be found online, and most orders ship within 1–3 business days.

Besides, getting a box of beads in the mail is considerably more exciting than carrying home a shopping bag.
