It's no mystery that emerald is synonymous with beauty. This lustrous stone has been coveted by kings, queens, and the privileged elite. In fact, emerald was traded in one of the earliest known gem markets of ancient Babylon, circa 4000 B.C. Today, the Bead Traders is proud to present a wide selection of the most spectacular emerald beads, meticulously carved and shimmering with beauty. Our gemstone beads and beading supplies are bought in volume, which means you get affordable beads online, every time.
Emerald—Not Just a City in Oz
Historically, emerald has been mined in localities as exotic as Egypt and India, and today, we commonly mine this precious gemstone in the deepest jungles of Columbia and Brazil. Its brilliant green glow is colored by the elements chromium and vanadium, which reside in the chemical structure of the stone. Emeralds are 20 times rarer than diamonds, and their scarcity makes them all the more desirable. Perhaps that's why they were a favorite gem of Cleopatra. In addition, emerald green beads are always breathtaking, and at the Bead Traders, we carry only the most radiant, high-quality emerald beads for classic, sophisticated adornment.
