Shipwreck Beads

THE WORLD'S LARGEST SELECTION OF BEADS!

About Me

Founded in 1969, Shipwreck Beads' first location was an 800 square foot building on Mud Bay in Olympia, Washington called Shipwreck. Originally an antique store specializing in nautical antiques, it did not take long for beads to become the number one attraction. Shipwreck became Shipwreck Beads after it was purchased from the original owners by their children in 1987, and is still owned and operated by the same family!
Shipwreck Beads continues to amaze anyone that walks through its doors. The current showroom is over 20,000 square feet!!!!!!
Today, Shipwreck Beads has more than 3,000 styles, sizes and color options just in Seed Beads alone. Specializing in Czech Glass, we also provide beads from the U.S., Japan, China, India, and many other countries.
Our showroom is truly breathtaking, in both size and selection! With nearly 1,500 styles and colors of Chinese Lamp Beads , and more than 4,500 different Pressed Glass Beads , in addition to our Seed Beads you are sure to find something to make you smile.
With products arriving every day and thousands of new items every year. Shipwreck beads will continue to supply the best quality beads in the largest selection for many more years to come... www.shipwreckbeads.com
