You're Invited
 
Be a part of a growing cooperative of fellow beading enthusiasts. Our goal is to have access to genuine precious  gemstone beads of high quality & top color. We focus on species that are normally difficult to source, otherwise quite expensive and very suitable for discriminating designers.

It is easy to join and there are no gimmicks. If you're dreaming of incorporating top quality dramatic designer gemstones into your projects, at a fraction of the cost, this is your window of opportunity!
 
How it Works
 
The savings are passed onto you because the co-op:
  • Buys in bulk.
  • Buys straight from the factory where they facet the beads.
  • Contracts for reduced shipping & associated fees.
  • Has a certified Gemologist buyer who inspects all gemstones. This protects your investment as well as your reputation and helps you to save money and avoid costly errors associated with damages, fraud, shoddy workmanship, poor quality stones & scams.

You can Expect

Membership entitles you to:

1. Purchase in stock designer beads at cost plus. "Cost" means you genuinely buy at wholesale prices or better. There are many so-called "wholesale" to the public venues but they are not really selling at wholesale prices, just discount prices. "Plus" means you must pay for shipping & handling, which we strive to keep as reasonable as possible. Also, you may find gemstone beads in the market for less, but you will get just what you pay for...less!

2. A membership ID card

3. Electronic catalog.

4. E-News about featured gemstones, upcoming events & buying trips.

5. Wish list Considerations. Let our buyer know what you have on your wish list & we will strive to obtain it if at all possible.
 
6. Free support from a certified Professional Gemologist who will help you with your gemstone questions & designer needs.

Co-op Dues

Yearly dues are paid by January first. You may join at anytime; first year dues are proratedable.

You may pay by money order, personal check or PayPal (PayPal payments are subject to a minimal processing fee).

Price: $36.50
