Ethically sourced Beads?
March 17, 2021 2:30 PM Subscribe
I'm looking for wholesale gemstone beads that state where they are sources their beads from and put some effort into ethical mining practices. Does this exist?
After spending some hours of time, what I have largely discovered is that this does not seem to be much of a thing. But have I missed options? I'd like to buy gemstone beads from Europe if that is possible- closest possibility so far being Baltic amber. If there are any wholesalers that list the country of origin of beads that would help? I'm looking mostly for beads like quartz, jasper, garnet, agate, moonstone---- not the super expensive ones.
If you have researched this and learned anything, please share!

Kernowcraft seems to have a good ethical policy and a good selection of beads.
