Big Changes at Beadaholique

Big Changes at Beadaholique

Our recent announcement about closing our store resulted in an outpouring of support from our customers and suppliers. Hearing how important Beadaholique is to you and the beading community lifted our spirits during this difficult time. We are so grateful to you.

Within days of closing, our founders Chris and Sarah found a buyer that was committed to keeping Beadaholique open and continuing our mission of being the world's most fun and engaging online resource for beading and jewelry supplies.

The new owners have many friends in the jewelry supply industry that will help us restock quickly and expand our selection. They also have wonderful partners with a high-tech warehouse and an order fulfillment team that specializes in jewelry supplies. Our store will soon provide everything you could want to make jewelry and your orders will ship even faster. We couldn't be more excited!

Of course, change is never easy, but progress is being made daily. Our new team includes some who have served you for over 10 years along with many new faces. We graciously ask for your patience in the coming weeks as we all work around the clock to rebuild Beadaholique.

We are thrilled that we will soon be able to provide you with even more options for your projects including new brands, new styles, and line expansions featuring more shapes, sizes, and colors than you can imagine. We will also continue supporting the beading community with our library of project tutorials, how-to videos, and 101 guides. In addition, your customer account, order history, wishlists, Beader's Rewards, and unused gift cards are here to stay.

If you have more questions, please see our updated FAQ page or contact our customer service team. We would also love to hear from you about what you have enjoyed most about Beadaholique and what new products or features you would like to see as we enter the next chapter. Please let us know in the comments below and thank you so much for sticking with us!

So glad you are staying open. I live in Canada and although I always dread the exchange rate at checkout I keep coming back to you because of the amazing selection and l basically learnt to bead by watching many of your videos.

Glen - March 19, 2022

Glad to hear you are staying open. Love the company as one of my suppliers. Just hope they don’t jack up the prices as you guys have been fair and compatible. Thanks for all you have done for us over the past years. With Gratitude, Glen

Yay!

Your kits and products have taught me so much and bring me joy and a creative outlet.

Things I’d like to see:
More videos
More kits
Information in kits about exactly what products were used so I can buy or make my own kits using the same technique. I learned circular brick stitch from kits a while ago and bought rings that were much larger than the ones in the kits.
A comparison tool or something for Miyuki and Toho colors. I believe I have, at least once, bought the same or a very similar color of bead because the two brands give them different names, and only realize when I get them in my hand!
A way to compare products period. I might buy a specific color of crystal and want a seed bead that matches it or coordinates with it. It’s hard to do that now.

Thank you!

Yay for staying open. Even though I don’t need any more of a stash….

I live in Canada and appreciate your reasonable shipping costs. I hope that will continue. I have enjoyed the diversity of your product lines and I am really looking forward to your expanding the products offered. Your prices have been favorably competative and I hope that continues also.

Congratulations to everyone involved.

So happy to hear this! Many local bead stores near me closed 3 years ago so I turned to Beadaholique for my beading needs. Love your kits , tutorials ,bead projects and Kat ! Hope you continue with them ! I would love to see you add brass findings to make fringe earrings that are so popular right now !
Congrats to the new owners !

Alice Faucette - March 19, 2022

Yea! I’m so glad to hear that you will remain open. I’ve loved being a customer for many years. Can’t wait to see how new owner and management will bring even greater products to this wonderful bead store.

Rosalie Jean Young - March 19, 2022

I’m thrilled you will be staying open. Beadaholique has become like family to me, I’ve watched so many videos. We’ve lost so many good bead stores these past few years and what a blessing that you have found new owners for your store! So happy to hear this.

Estelle Johnson - March 19, 2022

What wonderful news to wake up to this morning! Congrats to the new owner and thank you!

Since our local bead shop closed a couple of years ago I have ordered from many online bead sites. Yours is one of my favorites, great variety (looking forward to even more to choose from), prompt shipping (some sites take 2-3 weeks or longer before I receive my order) and awesome sales.

I would like to see more unusual and hard to find findings and colors and shapes of beads, more of the available color choices of the harder to find beads for example 2-hole daggers. It is difficult enough to mix and match beads for a project when you cannot hold them in your hand to compare and even harder when there are not many colors available.
Happy Bead Trails!

This great news has made my day.
I was so sad to hear of your closing, as recently the best bead store in my area closed after many years,devastating many people who were part of the community. I thought- oh no- now we lose you too. I’m Super Happy about the news! Long live Beadaholique :) thank you
