Intrinsic Trading

So I walked in thinking, "Cool, I'll check out the beads and other goodies this store may have." The first think I noticed was the size of the store. When I opened the door and saw row after row of beads, I knew I would need more time to look around. The owners were very nice. They explained that the prices were wholesale with percentages off when ready to complete purchase. There were cute beads for kids, up to natural gem beads such as Jasper, Adventurine, Amethyst, and Agate. You name it and they had it. I was ready to build my jewelry on the spot with all of the beautiful beads. I definitely need to go back with an idea of what I want, as my mind flew into overdrive with possibilities.

UPDATE: So, Intrinsic Trading has moved to the Parmer and 1431 area. It feels so much bigger at their new location. I've since started my own jewelry making business and frequent them a whole lot more. Still as fantastic as always. I recommend taking photos of the beads as you buy them, as not every string has a label. Items are clearly marked if no label, and the staff are so nice and helpful. The pictures I've added include pieces I've made with their beads as well as some of the bead bins with their prices. When going in person, you will pay half the dealer price. So, if $12 is posted, you actually only pay $6.

As you can see from the pictures...
I've got a new hobby and a new satisfying way to excersise my creative side.

To say that this place has a large variety & diverse selection of beads is an understatement!

And you cannot beat the price.
High quality/ low prices is always a winning combination!

Very friendly. Clean and staff that knows about beads. ADA wheelchair accessible. They have a class room which is nice separated from the shop which is also a plus.
