  1. At Bertie’s Beads, we believe that every piece of jewellery begins with inspiration — and nothing inspires more than the natural beauty of genuine gemstone beads.

    Our carefully curated collection brings together some beautiful semi-precious stones from around the world, making it easy for jewellery makers, crafters, and crystal lovers to create something truly special. Whether you’re designing a meaningful bracelet, a statement necklace, or a simple charm, our gemstone beads offer both beauty and individuality.

    Why Choose Gemstone Beads?

    Gemstone beads are more than just decorative — they carry unique colours, patterns, and energies shaped by nature over millions of years. No two beads are ever exactly the same, which means every design you create will be completely one-of-a-kind.

    Many of our customers are drawn to gemstone beads not only for their visual appeal but also for their symbolic meaning

    Whether you work with gemstones for their aesthetics, energy, or both, Bertie’s Beads offers something to suit every style and intention.

    A Wide Range of Beads for Every Project

    At Bertie’s Beads Kiosk, we stock gemstone beads in a variety of shapes and sizes, including:

    • 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm round beads
    • Nugget beads
    • Chip bead strands
    • Pendant stones

    This makes our beads perfect for:

    • DIY bracelets
    • Necklaces
    • Earrings
    • Beaded keyrings
    • Reiki jewellery
    • Chakra designs
    • Children’s craft projects
    • Handmade gifts

    This year we are increasing our range that is available online.

    We pride ourselves on offering high-quality beads in small quantities, making our shop ideal for hobbyists and small business creators alike.

    Perfect for Beginners and Experienced Makers

    If you’re new to jewellery making, don’t worry — gemstone beads are incredibly easy to work with. You can simply thread them onto elastic cord to create stretch bracelets, or use wire and findings for more advanced designs.

    For experienced crafters, our range allows for endless creativity. Mix and match different stones, experiment with colour palettes, or design themed collections such as chakra jewellery, nature-inspired pieces, or minimalist styles.

  2. 20251129_162052Well the last year last few months went in a whirlwind when I decided to move the kiosk.  It is still evolving but most of the visible changes have been down to the infrastructure.

     I am really sorry I cann't twist the picture around.
