{ What happened to Jerry Smith Beads? }

The market just tanked, fewer hobbyist had the disposable income to spend on beads. Fluctuating exchange rates and the rising price of gold and silver made it almost impossible to keep my cost low enough to make a profit. When I started selling beads in 1999 it was on EBay it was fun, time passed and we grew and it was still fun. But in the last few years it has became less fun.   So we decided to call it quits in Jan 2013.

• I am a Runner and will soon be training for the Space Coast Marathon

After 15 years of selling beads it is time to move on…… To all of our customers thank you…
