Welcome to Crystals and Beads for Friends

Dear Friends,

We're so glad you're here. Whether you're a seasoned jewelry maker or just discovering the joy of beading, you've found a place where quality, craftsmanship, and genuine passion for the craft come together.

Our Story

Crystals and Beads for Friends — known to many of you as Crystals and BFF — is a family-run business with over 30 years of experience in the European bead and jewelry supply industry. Founded by Katerina and Tomas, our store was built on a simple belief: that makers deserve access to beautiful, high-quality materials at fair prices, paired with the kind of personal service you'd expect from a friend.

We specialize in authentic Czech glass beads, crystals, fire polished beads, pendants, rhinestones, flatbacks, hotfix components, and a carefully curated selection of jewelry-making supplies — all sourced directly from the heart of Europe and EU's finest manufacturers.

Our Promise to You

Every order — large or small — is handled with care, packed securely, and shipped promptly. Most domestic orders arrive within 2–4 days.

Your personal data is always safe with us. Our ordering system is PCI compliant, we do not store your payment informations and we never share your data with third parties.

A Little Human Touch

We're a family business, and we genuinely believe that people still want to buy from real people. Behind every order is a commitment to quality, honesty, and mutual respect. We're not just a store — we're fellow makers and enthusiasts who love what we do and love helping you create something beautiful.

Thank you for being part of our community. We're grateful for every customer who has trusted us over the years, and we look forward to being part of your next project.

With warmth,
Katerina and Tomas
