We’re moving! Shop Week 3 of the Moving Sale through Saturday.

Gemstone Beads

Lima Beads was born out of a love for gemstones. We started with about 50 different gemstone bead strands in 2003 and for several years, only sold gems. Ali and I still hand-pick the gems you'll find in our shop, directly from stone cutters all over the world. This allows us to offer you two things: a great value and a promise that we care deeply about the quality of our gemstones and the happiness of our customers. Enjoy!
