Welcome New Customers to 1 Stop Bead Shop

Welcome Byzantium Customers

Like you, we were shocked and saddened when we learned that Byzantium was closing. Not only were they an icon in the bead world, with a venerated track record of 25 years of serving the Central Ohio beading community, but they carried an eclectic array of beads that resulted from years of accumulation.

Now that they are gone, many of you have begun asking us about items, or brands that you counted on at Byzantium to. At 1 Stop, we have always prided ourselves on our willingness to try to locate items for our guests and grow our inventory assortment in response to your requests. In order to do that, we are soliciting your help.

If there is an item that you are interested in, please stop in or email us. We are currently compiling a list of the most requested items, and have already begun to add some of them to our line.

With that in mind:

Introducing:

Added in response to a guest special order. We have started with only a small selection, but have already talked to her about adding to the line after the 1st of the year.
