Halstead Bead, Inc. got its start in Phoenix in 1973 under the management of Tom and Suzie
Halstead and has been owned by the Halstead family ever since. 2010 marked our 37th anniversary
of service to the jewelry trade.
The Halstead Bead story began when Tom bought a strand of antique African trade beads because of
his interest in archaeology and anthropology. He showed his purchase to colleagues at work and
immediately had orders from half the women in the office. Tom and Suzie then decided to make
jewelry to sell at craft festivals as a hobby. The business continued to grow until they took
the plunge in 1975, quit their jobs, and gave the bead business their full-time attention. The
business evolved into a wholesale jewelry findings operation that supplied other retailers throughout Arizona and gradually expanded to include clients across the country.
In 1981, the firm moved north to the mountains and tall pines of Prescott, Arizona. After much growth, the company now occupies a new warehouse and office facility that was built in 2004. The second generation of Halsteads is now involved in the business as well. So, expect to see us around for quite some time!
