World of Beads is a family run business, trading from a small shop situated in the historical cathedral City of Winchester, Hampshire. Full
information about the shop can be found on the location page.
Although we are a relatively small company, we stock an
enormous range of beads from all over the world, and our stock is constantly changing, with new styles arriving almost daily. Our range includes an extensive
collection of glass beads, including genuine Murano glass, semi-precious beads, fresh water pearls, Swarovski crystals and a selection of wood, shell and bone beads.
If you cannot see what you are looking for on this site, please contact us, and we will do our best to find the item for you.
The items available here in our on-line shop represent a very small selection of what is on offer at World of Beads and a visit to our shop is
needed to truly appreciate our collection of beads and accessories.
Of course, we also carry all the findings, tools and equipment needed to turn a
selection from our beads into a stunning piece of jewellery !
If you do not have the time or inclination to create your own jewellery however, we can
do it for you! Choose your beads from our extensive selection and leave them with us. Within a few days, you will be able to collect an original piece of
jewellery, made to your own design and specifications !
We can also offer the same service for bridal jewellery and accessories.
Other services
include repairs and re-stringing and courses in basic jewellery making techniques.
