About us

GemDIY is a US-based bead and pendant shop located in San Diego, California.

We specialize in old-stock beads, pendants, pearls, glass, and jewelry supplies. Our inventory was sourced over 20 years ago and carefully stored for years. These are not modern mass-produced items — many pieces come from long-stored collections with classic quality, unique materials, and hard-to-find shapes.

Because this is old stock, many styles are limited in quantity. Some stones and shapes may only have a few pieces left. Once sold out, there may be no restock.

Some material names may be old trade names or known differently today. We do our best to describe each item clearly and appreciate your understanding.

We ship from San Diego, California, and we’re happy to help jewelry makers, collectors, and bead lovers find special pieces for their next project.

Thank you for shopping with GemDIY.
