Better Than Expected

The beads I purchased were available for a fraction of the price they’re sold in stores. I could not be happier with my purchase, and will definitely reorder from The Bead Chest. Not only does the quality of my purchase exceed my expectations, but they arrived promptly. Very satisfied!

Rustic shapes and color - LOVE

The rough shaped chunks have a beautiful range of colors: palest green through watery blue to smokey gray. I wear them as sold - already strung with.

They are really good

I like them wondering what type of string would you recommend

Clear Recycled Glass

I love the bead chest and I love the beads I ordered. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on my jewelry I've made with these beads.

Genuine???

These do not have pyrite inclusions found in natural Lapis Lazuli, which are characteristic to the stone. Authenticity is questionable

Great purchase

I was very excited about my purchase. I order multiple sizes of different colors to be able to see what would work best. Customers were very impressed as was I. Will buy again.

Fabulous

Does anyone really read these reviews???

Best bead store EVER

Bead Chest not only has marvelous beads that are even better than the photos, but they also have great seller communication! Beads are shipped quickly and wrapped so carefully that I have a hard time getting into them :)!!
Have bought a second time and will make The Bead Chest my preferred bead store. Seriously. You should make it your preferred store also because, a good bead is hard to find!

Best African bead shop

Great beads and always fast and reliable service. Thank you.

Outstanding Customer Service

My initial order was lost in shipment because of a torn open envelope. Even though this was clearly due to rough, or intentional, miss-handling by the USPS, The Bead Shop replaced the entire order free of charge except for shipping costs. This is what I call excellent customer service!

Surprised

Yes this is a really pretty bead.... singular. I was a bit surprised when it was only one. Completely my fault for not paying attention to quantity. However I most likely won’t be ordering another. Now to figure out what to do with one bead. 😆

AMAZING

I am obsessed with all kinds of beads and I have never been as excited as I was to get these in the mail! They not only came within 3 days of me ordering them.. they were packaged nicely and none were broken.. I love the unique rustic feel they give off. Great in any home decor make over you plan on doing! I highly recommend :)

I love these beads because they have a bigger hole than those I can find at Michael's, etc! Each strand comes with around 51 beads

Great beads, always++++++++++++++++++++++++

Great beads and great customer service!!!! I purchase many, many beads from the Bead Chest!!! they have a wonderful variety of beads!!!!! The best !!!!!!

Beautiful red beads

My glass beads arrived in a timely manner, were well packed and were exactly as described.
I will shop here again.
Thanks.

Tibetan beads

Very nice quality. Fast delivery.

Best Little Recycled Glass

I have been making bracelets using this Ghana recycled glass and it is so popular. This is a big win as the person wearing the bracelet is supporting a tribe in Ghana and they are supporting the effort of reduce, reuse, recycle. People get excited knowing that the bracelet and earrings are supporting the environment.

Jumbo blue recycled glass beads (26mm)

Great size and color! Paired them with another strand of aqua 14mm ! Fast shipping too! Love them❤️

Blue Roman Glass Bangle Beads

very pretty , but much smaller than anticipated.

Large holed beads

Quite attractive, but also quite expensive..

Beautiful - exactly what I needed!

I had been wanting more ancient Roman glass beads, and these are gorgeous. I also love the tiny spacers, made of the same ancient glass. The shipping was prompt as well. Thank you!

SO Nice

Love these. Convey the African style to the jewelry and can mix with solid colors for a great look. I think using combining only a few with other beads gives it a higher end look as if to stay these decorative beads are much more expensive than the others which makes product look high end.
Great condition. As always super fast shipping with great packaging.

I love The Bead Chest, the product is really good replica of the picture that’s on the website. I have ordered products online before from another vendors and didn’t get what I expected. The Bead Chest does a really great job with their advertising and product quality. I love ordering from here during the fall season and share my beads with family, friends and others as a fall gift.

Beautiful

Exactly what I ordered

Thanks i ambreiveved my order set

Thanks
