I am not able to buy wholesale so I don't know what the price reduction
would be at the following stores - but the selection is great and they are
all within 2 blocks of each other in the Garment District. (Undoubtedly
there are many wholesalers in that neighborhood too.) You'll find
Swarovski, seed beads (mainly Matsuno but Toho Shoji has some Miyukis),
Czech firepolish, semiprecious stones, glass beads, all sorts of findings
including sterling silver and vermeil, and various other beads and
accessories. Definitely a fun way to spend a few hours.

Hi-I've never posted hear before but enjoy reading the posts. I'm hoping
someone can help me. I'm heading to NY City the end of April and was
wondering if anyone could recommend some 'must go to' bead shops and or
wholesalers. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, pam
