To purchase beads there are many alternatives in the way to shop for them. Beads are available as a single or as part of a jewelry item. Popular jewelry items include necklaces, bracelets and caps.

Firstly, bead shops are available in shopping malls. This is possibly the cheapest means of purchasing a single bead. The stores will purchase a large amount of each type and size of bead at a lower price from wholesale and then pass on part of the savings to the customer. This form of bead shopping will enable the purchase to buy as many single beads as are required in order to make a personal item of jewelry or other beaded item. Shopping malls very often sell every type of bead imaginable, the types of beads include seed beads, crystal beads, glass beads, lamp work beads and silver beads, etc. shopping malls also sell beaded jewelry items at reasonable prices. These items may be fashionable, off purchases or of unusual requirements.

Secondly, specific outlets are also an option when one purchases beads. Swarovski is the most popular outlet of crystal beads. Therefore many customers may prefer to deal directly with that specific supplier. This will ensure that the crystal beads are genuine and possibly offering the most choice. Specific outlets may be more expensive because of the brand names that are usually attached. This is also the case when considering the purchase of jevelry items from specific outlets.

Thirdly, catalogues are a hassle free means of purchasing beads and beaded items. The customer will usually call the shop for the required catalogue and within one or two weeks the catalogue will be delivered. The customer can then send off the desired purchase by post or over the phone. Payments can usually be made by credit card either at the time of at a later date. It is important to consider postage and packaging costs when catalogue purchasing.

Finally, the Internet is quick and efficient source of purchasing beads. This is especially useful if rare or collectable beads are purchase these types of beads. Shops are also available online and this can be an easy purchasing method. Again, many Internet companies will also require an additional charge for postage and packaging.

首先，大型購物商場就有珠寶店。要買到最便宜的單個珠寶要數(shù)這里了。這里的珠寶店從批發(fā)商那里以低的價格大量購進(jìn)各種款型和規(guī)格的珠子，然后讓利于消費(fèi)者。這種形式的珠子購買方式可以使購買者想買多少珠子，以便于定制個人珠寶首飾或其他鑲嵌珠寶的物件。購物中心總是出售你可以想像得到的各種各樣的珠子，包括植物種子做成的珠子、水晶珠子、玻璃珠子、能照明的珠子、銀珠子等等。大型購物中心還以比較合理的價位銷售鑲珠的首飾。這些首飾有可能是時尚的，不供出售的或者是按特殊要求定制的。
