About The Bead Destashery

Who We Are

 The Bead Destashery is Tacoma's newest bead store, backed by over 30 years in the industry. Opened in spring 2026 by Viki Lareau, the founder of The Bead Factory, Tacoma's original bead store since 1992. For decades, Viki traveled the world sourcing gemstones, pearls, precious metals, and many other jewels. The Bead Factory (1992-2020) was known for high-quality products and excellent customer service & education for Pacific Northwest jewelry makers. Many of those makers became lifelong patrons & friends, with an impressive collection of beads not available today - until now. The Bead Destashery is a specialized, curated shopping experience. It is not a recreation of The Bead Factory. It is a new purpose & vision with the same passion for beads, excellent service & over 3 decades of expertise.

What We Do

 Spectacular beads, rehomed. Over half of our beads come from the private collections of longtime Bead Factory customers, gathered over decades and now consigned (or "Destashed") to us so they can be discovered all over again. We focus primarily on high-quality materials which are increasingly hard-to-find today. And of course, they are as beautiful as the day they were first chosen. Our collections include many favorite beads from The Bead Factory: authentic natural Gemstones, Freshwater Pearls, Artisan Lampwork, precious metals, and more - most items are 10-25 years old, made with a level of craftsmanship that is rare today.

 A shop that's always expanding. Because our beads arrive by collection, our selection is rarely the same. We keep our consigned items as close to their original price when possible, which also makes them an incredible value! 

Everything you need to make your jewelry. Alongside our special collections, we always stock a full selection of jewelry-making supplies, including findings, wire, and tools to help complete your project. Please let us know your design ideas & goals, and we'll do our best to make them happen!

The joy of discovery. Our space is small by design. It's a curated treasure chest, for those wanting something special, of excellent quality & unique. Every visit is a chance to find beautiful treasures you won't find elsewhere.
