Our Story
Welcome to Australia Beads, your go-to source for high-quality beads, jewellery making supplies, and findings. Based in Greenvale, VIC, we have been passionate about beads and jewellery making since 1998 — making us one of Australia’s longest-running online bead stores. What started as a personal obsession with the craft quickly grew into a mission to share that passion with beaders and makers across the country.
Founder Shama Rashid began exploring the world of beads and jewellery making long before the internet made it easy, spending countless hours searching, experimenting, and perfecting the craft. In 1998, that passion became Australia Beads — an online store built on the belief that every maker, from absolute beginner to experienced jeweller, deserves access to quality materials at honest prices. Over 28 years later, that belief hasn’t changed.
Today, Australia Beads stocks over 6,000 products including seed beads, Czech glass beads, crystal beads, gemstone beads, jewellery findings, tools, and accessories — all shipped from our base in Greenvale, Melbourne. We pride ourselves on providing the best possible shopping experience, with fast and affordable shipping Australia-wide and free delivery on orders over $100.
Whether you’re a beginner picking up your first packet of seed beads or an experienced maker running your own jewellery business, we’re here to help you find exactly what you need. We love hearing from our customers — if you have a question about any of our products or need help choosing the right materials for your project, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
