Gemstone Beads California

Looking for gemstone beads in California? Beads of Cambay gives you a big, organized bead wall that you can browse from your couch. Our shop has about 2,700 gemstone bead options to choose from, ranging from simple rounds for everyday stacks to faceted rondelles and focal pieces that anchor a necklace. Makers in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, and Sacramento can place an order online and receive it at home. Most packages head out on the same day we receive the order, so you're not left waiting with an unfinished design.

Not sure where to begin? California's state gem is benitoite, a rare blue stone that's found in gem quality only in one small part of San Benito County. Since benitoite almost never turns up as beads, get a similar look with our blue sapphire beads, from tiny micro-faceted rounds to Cambodian rondelles. Indigo kyanite and violet-blue iolite build out the palette with deeper tones. Want something softer? Our moonstone beads add a gentle glow next to the blues.

Gemstone Beads in California: FAQs

Where can I buy gemstone beads in California?
Order straight from our site, and we'll send it to any California address, from the Oregon border down to the San Diego coast. Inside the gemstone bead collection, you can filter by color, stone, size, or shape, which saves a lot of scrolling. As soon as your order goes past $100, U.S. shipping costs nothing.
Can I find a bead store near me in the Los Angeles, San Diego, or Sacramento area?
We sell only online, so you won't find a California counter, but you can shop every strand in our catalog from wherever you are. We run the business from Lawrenceville, Georgia, and orders go out to customers up and down California. Changed your mind about a strand? Unused strands that are still on the string qualify for a full refund for 30 days, and for store credit until the 90-day mark.
Do you offer wholesale gemstone beads for California boutiques and designers?
Yes! California bead shops, gift boutiques, and jewelry designers who buy for resale can open a wholesale account. Create your account with the resale tax ID tied to your business, then send your resale certificate to our team by email. When we've approved you, sign in before you check out and the wholesale discount applies by itself. You'll save 10% on orders from $50, with savings growing up to 30% at the $1,000 mark.
What is California's state gemstone?
Benitoite has held that title since October 1, 1985. It's sometimes called the "blue diamond" for its strong sparkle, and gem-quality crystals come from just one small area of San Benito County. California also has a state rock, serpentine, and our serpentine beads are an easy way to add a green, local nod to your designs.
