The John Bead 60th Anniversary Beads and Breakfast – John Bead Corporation: Beads, Crystals, Components and Carnival

John Bead History — The history of our company through all the elements displayed in our timeline boards.
These will now be displayed in our showroom.

On Saturday June 7, 2014 John Bead hosted a very special event we called “Beads and Breakfast” at the Iron Horse hotel in Milwaukee. It was an opportunity for us to start celebrating our 60th Anniversary.

Beads and Breakfast — Each table featured mason jars and double vases filled with white and cream pearls, white roses and calla lilies (classic Chanel-inspired) 60th Anniversary brochures, a celebratory gift for each guest and hand-beaded napkin rings with white pearls.

“It is with great pride and joy that we mark the occasion of our sixty years in business. It has been an honor to serve the Bead and Craft marketplace through the decades and we enthusiastically look forward to what lies ahead. We are now a third generation, family operated company, that extends sincere thanks to our current and past employees, suppliers and customers. Our business philosophy continues to place our customers first and we enjoy bringing the latest trends and products to the market.”
