I first began acquiring ancient glass beads used as currency during the 10 -- 12th century Majapahit Dynasty in Java. Since then, I have steadily expanded with acquisitions from Asia, Europe, Africa, America and other parts of the world -- so that today we offer an outstanding collection of ancient to contemporary beads for all enthusiasts, including designers, collectors and others with specialized interests.

We've arranged our web gallery so that you can browse through it just as easily as you would our New York store -- with special pages featuring our catalog, special sales, on-line store, designer's gallery, Bruce's bead tips and other interesting items.

I hope you will make Bruce Frank your personal bead shop. We take great pride in the attention paid to servicing our customers -- whom we consider our friends as well.

Visit our gallery often and invite other bead enthusiasts to do so as well. As a first step, please register so we can keep you updated with advance notices of special sales and features, new arrivals and our many other bead-related activities.
