History

Established in 1993.

Founded in 1993, Scottsdale Bead Supply grew from its roots in a quaint white farm house in Old Town Scottsdale to the stylish showroom it is today. Its owners, Mike and Kelly Charveaux, are masterful designers of jewelry, as well as custom inlay and silver components. Three years ago, the company moved into a state-​of-​the-​art, 5000 square foot showroom that features beads from all over the world: Japanese Delicas, African trade beads, Bali silver, local artisan lamp glass, and everything in between. The store carries only the finest quality of pearls, Austrian crystals, precious, andsemi-​precious gemstones. While we do have an amazing showroom, we also offer a bustling mail-​order service for our out-​of-​town clients.
