About Us
Out West Beads is Native American owned and operated by a member of the Walker River Paiute Tribe and his family. For over 20 years, we operated the Reno Bead Shop in northern Nevada. We are now completely online with our extensive collection of beads and beading supplies.
Our mission is to focus on beads and beading supplies for the Native American community and western inspired bead artists. In addition to selling beads, we have been beading ourselves for over 25 years and our designs have been published in numerous art books and magazines.
These abalone fan beads are double sided and are drilled across the top of the bead (see string in picture). The beads are approximately 1.25" x 1.25" in size, though each bead is unique. Please allow for variation in appearance and size. If you purchase more than one, an attempt will be made to match beads for earrings. These beads are sold individually.
