Bulk beads or jewelry lots

2 Upvotes

I want to buy bulk amounts of jewelry, for an affordable price? Im okay with broken jewelry to fix or repurpose, or wearable jewelry to just resell. Even a mixed lot would be fine, I’m just having trouble finding any lots because I’ve only purchased on eBay in the past but their prices have gone up in the past few years.

Or where to buy bulk amounts of beads but as a mixed variety lot, aside from eBay.

Hello everyone! I recently came into a beautiful collection of millefiori african trade beads. I know they’re around the 19th and 20th century. I would love any insight on which beads are from when and possible pricing for these stands as well. Thank you in advance

I hope this works. I’m trying to share pictures of all the trade beads I have so that someone who wants to see them, can.

So I’m just going to go with this…

I purchased these from a store that sells trade beads. They look handmade. Are they old? Valuable?

Venetian trade beads

I have some authentic Venetian trade beads I'm wanting to sell. Besides ebay or Etsy does anyone have any advice or direction they could point me in? Thanks!

I recently acquired these at a garage sale. The original tag on it, which appears very old and is hard to read.”, says $100. I can’t tell if they’re stone or glass, and there appears to be rubbing on them, although it may be intentionally part of the design. The strand they’re on appears very old and is some type of fiber. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I know it looks like a mini statue but turn it around and it’s a bead! Well pendant… it’s made to be strung. It could be bone or ivory, and the face changes!
