About Fancy Beads

Fancy Beads imports beads, toggles and clasps, jewelry components such as pendants and charms, and other related items, and sells them (wholesale) to bead stores and designers.

Founder Andy Magisano began with just a tackle box of vintage beads, pounding the pavement of Minneapolis in the early 1990s, and has grown the business to deliver several full lines of unique and exquisite wholesale beads from around the world.

Fancy Beads is best known for high-quality Venetian glass beads, Thai silver bead set with marcasite, unique products set with Swarovski crystal - such as squaredelle beads and toggles - and sourcing for custom products for its customers.

Now, Fancy Beads applies its sourcing experience to the popular modular jewelry trend of large-hole beads, helping bead stores to leverage the opportunity of these new bead customers.
