Established in 1988.
We bought our first bead 30 years ago deep in a vault at the Red Fort in New Delhi, India. They were beautiful antique silver beads. We were forced to buy beads with the Indian Rupees we had made on the the black market selling electronics. Did not really know a thing about beads at the time except we knew they were beautiful. As we would come to find out through the next 30 years the beads were “talking” to us. Telling us something…. We started our first bead store in South Lake Tahoe, Ca in 1988. Added a second in Reno, Nv in 1992.
