Fantastic service, I placed a small order on Sunday and the beads arrived today. This was my first order with Beads Unlimited and I will absolutely order from them again.

Best site for all jewellery making needs.

Ordering was straightforward and the goods arrived promptly. The site was easy to navigate, very impressed with the videos, which are very helpful to a beginner. Only down side is the time waiting for new stock to arrive. Overall a good site, I will be using it again and recommend it to family and friends.

Very helpful and good quality!

I had some new ideas I wanted to try out but I wasn't sure how to make them or what to use. The site explained every piece in detail and how it can be used. The order was delivered faster than I expected and it was exactly what I needed.

The best bead online shop in the south of England

I have been using beads unlimited for many years now they have always come through and have always delivered on time. And they have always inspired me to change my style by renewing stock and adding new beads.
They have on their website inspiring pieces of jewellery that they have designed and they make it easy for you to follow, if you are just starting out .
Thank you for your blogs and write ups and your inspiration .

Speedy Beady!

I received my full order, well packed and earlier than the anticipated delivery date. A great, informative website which leads to an easy and helpful shopping experience. I will difinitely purchase all my jewellery making items from Beads Unlimited in future. Thank you for a great service.

Really helpful staff!

I needed to know the weight of some button necklace thread because I was going to send it to The Gambia, where we volunteer at a school. The young lady who answered the 'phone could not have been more pleasant or helpful - a great asset to a company with a really good website. I would certainly return to Beads Unlimited.

Beading Paradise!

I am new to beading - started by deciding to dismantle a nine stranded 'pearl' necklace now getting carried away altogether. Seems a great selection and staff are most helpful. Very useful video demos for a beginner!

However the selection of fasteners, crimps, crimp covers and extension chains has been rather limited for sometime (over as month or more). So unable to finish many pieces at the moment. I understand you have to wait until you can place a large order from your suppliers. Meantime do we shop elsewhere?

Reply from Beads Unlimited

Thanks for your review Simone, I'm pleased to hear you've found our videos helpful!
I'm very sorry we haven't been able to provide all the findings you've needed recently. Late December/early January can be a bit of a tricky time of year for us, as everything gets snapped up for Christmas then we can't have anything delivered as we're closed for the duration. We have however had a huge shipment this week, so hopefully you'll find our stocks are now greatly improved!

Kind regards,
Kat

Trustworthy Supplier

This is not the first time I've ordered from Beads Unlimited, and I doubt it will be the last! It's good to find suppliers who are quick to process orders and supply quality goods.

This time I ordered, amongst other things, a bag of frosted glass barrel beads in mixed colours for my Viking-themed jewellery - there were 18 different colour shades, which surprised and delighted me.

Very many thanks.
