Welcome to Jeweled Treasures

Finally, an update!!

I have listed a new category--Watches. Last year at the Bead & Button show I donated watch faces to the editorial staff of Bead Unique Magazine for an upcoming bead challange. That was published this month, featuring my watches! That lead to me buying ad space in the issue, which lead to me HAVING to update the site!

This is actually the first time I took the pictures, edited them, and was able to post them all by myself. I am surprised at myself-I am also learning a new laptop, since the old one died last month! I have other things that I hope to be getting up soon, including brass components in silver finish, vintage patina finish, antique gold finish, and copper finish.

I will be hitting the road again for shows starting next week with the first stop in San Antonio.

Life has been busy at home and with business the last 2 years. One son moved out, 2 others quickly growing up, 2 back surgeries, and much more. God has been good to us and while I was almost out of commission from my surgeries, I found out how special my friends are. Both at home and in the towns I visit, I have the greatest friends a girl could want. I have gotten used to having help in my boothes since then, and now have a hard time working alone!

I hope to see you at a show soon. If there is something that you are looking for, please feel free to email me and I will be glad to let you know if I have it.

Welcome to the new online home for Jeweled Treasures! It has been a long time coming and finally we are here!

Our goal for Jeweled Treasures is to provide our customers with unique and unusual treasures. We spend many hours searching for the types of beads, buttons, and findings that are beautiful and unusual. To that end, we have a large selection of Czech glass beads specializing in unusual colors and shapes; Czech glass buttons; vintage buttons; unique findings; crystal crosses, pendants, and components; chain, and much more. We also have an eclectic collection of purse handles and handbag supplies.

Jeweled Treasures started in our home 17 years ago and has grown tremondously. It becomes more of a family business each year, involving my husband and 3 sons. In addition to our bead business, we are a homeschooling family. I travel to bead and quilt shows--last year I was gone 17 weekends--which is a lot for us. As our customer base has grown so much, this website was the next natural progression. I know those of you who try to re-order from me after a show will really appreciate this!

If you have shopped with us at a show, you will realize that our inventory is much larger than I will ever be able to put on this site. If you saw something at a show that you wanted, didn't get, and don't see here, please email me. I will be glad to help you. If there is something you are looking for and you don't see it here, please email me. I may have it somewhere, or can try to locate it for you. Recently I was able to find a large quantity of earwires for a customer that she had been trying to locate without success for quite a while. I enjoy the challange, and I enjoy knowing my customers and what they like!

I hope you stop by the site often as it will be growing and please come see us at a show if we are near your location!

Happy treasure hunting,

Carol Wille,
