Why are our prices so good?

We employ a direct-sales model that eliminates the middleman. With years of experience in the trade, many wonderful business partnerships and connections and an eye for quality, design, and price, the best beads are hand selected at the best price for you.

With Magpie Gemstones wholesale to the public you will receive 40%-50% savings over standard industry retail pricing without membership or faux wholesale gimmicks, and up to 30% off additionally. We do not make you jump through hoops to get wholesale prices on top quality product. You buy only what you need. No 10 strand minimums. We know that you need an assortment to succeed.

Be assured that we strive for the best quality that really does make a difference in your finished product. Our clients will tell you, check out our testimonials. You also receive exceptional customer service through email or phone at turquoisemagpie@hotmail.com or 1-512-392-3091.

Our products often sell out as we choose the very best at the best price and sometimes that means we have few in stock. The items on this website can usually not be replaced. They are unique and of excellent value. If you see something you like or need we stromgly recommend getting them now and getting the amount you need. The nature of gemstones also limits the ability to always replicate a certain stone, cut, or patterning. You maybe able to get them somewhere else but not at this quality and price.

We work under a sustainable and transparent business model. This means we make the best decisions based on what is in the best interest of everyone we interact with from our suppliers, the Earth, our community and our clients. If we all succeed in a good way then we will continue to support one another and everyone succeeds.

About Szarka

Szarka began selling jewelry professionally in 1990. She sold in galleries and at art shows part time while working as a family therapist. She then traveled for seven years, selling  jewelry, beads, hand made clothing, and stones at festivals and fairs depending on the show.

When she quit traveling, she couldn't stop buying turquoise and gemstones from the excellent suppliers she had met and formed relationships with over the years, so she sold some on eBay, and www.turquoisemagpie.com was born. Now with suppliers that have factories in India and Hong Kong she started offering her gems and beads wholesale to the trade on this website.

She also supports and sells designer beads from artists who create unique and exceptional works. When available you will find high fired porcelain focal beads and buttons from Clay Jeani and American turquoise cabochons by lapidary artist Mr.Bill the cab man. Also hand made Boro glass Goddesses and beads from Kat in Spokane Washington, and wire wrap tutorials from Sherry "Dancing Feather". The list goes on and she is always open to supporting artists and creating a partnership to show case their work.

She has an eye for design color, and texture. She knows what sells and she uses that knowledge and experience to purchase stones that will make your jewelry stand out and walk away at shows and galleries.

Szarka's designs can be seen on her jewelry website and in her blog.
