CJ Beaders was formed by Claire & her Mum, Jane Halls back in 2004 when they started to make Beaded Jewellery in Basingstoke, Hampshire. Following a redundancy, Jane's husband, Graham, started looking at their Jewellery with an 'Engineering Eye' and started seeking-out high quality tools and findings. Such was the interest from other Beaders in the Tools, Techniques and Findings CJ Beaders used, in 2005 we started importing and supplying Beadalon Products.
Today, Claire has flown the nest and is living in New Zealand with her boyfriend and CJ Beaders is now managed by Jane and Graham and their youngest Son, Mike. In 2009, following 5 years experience of re-selling and selecting the best quality Tools and Findings, CJ Beaders has become a Distributor for Beadalon, Shesto, Xuron and GRIFFIN products and an agent for 'Bead Time'. In June 2010, we became a distributor for A to Z Bohemian Glass.
As well as supplying tools, findings and beads online, we are increasingly becoming known as beading suppliers and supply bead stores and bead shops around the country and have also become a bead supplier, working with other bead suppliers to provide a wide range of items for beaded jewellery making.
On the 21st August 2010, we will open our (first) Bead Shop close to the beautiful New Forest and the South Coast in the town of Highcliffe.
CJ Beaders has gained a reputation for providing quality products, excellent service and advice to our Customers. We look forward to serving you further.
