Offering Beads in Bulk & Beading Supplies Since 1970

Beads made of glass, metal, and a variety of other materials have been produced in various forms dating back thousands of years. In more recent times, Italy, particularly Venice was the center of the bead manufacture and trade industry and “universe”. While other manufacturing hotspots, such as Czechoslavakia (Bohemia), China, and others have followed, one thing has remained constant – a broad and growing interest in beads.

Offering Beads in Bulk to the General Craft Market

Crazy Crow Trading Post has been in the wholesale bead business since 1970. With a background in Native American culture as the impetus for the interest, we have catered to a niche market (big, global niche market) that uses these glass, metal, crystal beads primarily for American Indian and mountain man era outfits. During this time, we have used larger and larger volumes of beads, directly importing many to meet the demand of the thousands of dealers we supply. Additionally, we have traveled to Europe to inspect and purchase bulk stocks of beads that have not been made in years. From the smallest Czech, French, German or Japanese seed beads, to larger pony, bugle, crow or other necklace beads, to fancy trade beads, we offer variety in size and color to satisfy a broad demand for beads in the general crafts market.
