How to Buy Hematite Beads for Wholesale
Buying your hematite beads wholesale is the best way to save money for your business. Retail stores buy certain amounts of beads from wholesale, creating a limited variety for shoppers. Shopping directly from wholesale offers a much wider bead selection. Another benefit of purchasing beads wholesale is that you can buy your beads in bulk. Beading websites also usually carry other bead-making items at low prices.

Tips & Warnings
Fire Mountain Gems and House of Gems are two companies that do not require a minimum purchase (see Resources).
Some companies only sell beads to professional jewelry-makers. Provide the wholesaler with your business information, such as your tax identification number, employer identification number or business registration number, if the company you are ordering from requires proof that you sell your work.
