Meet the Eureka Crystal Beads Team!

Since we've been supplying beaders around the world for 20 years now, we thought perhaps it's time to introduce ourselves more personally and know each other better!

And since everyone here treats beads, beaders and beading very seriously, for good balance, this post is going to be very much NOT so!

Say hi to the Eureka Team, starting with its most senior members who have been with the company since its live bead show days:

Walter

Meet Walter, the sage of beads, the elder statesman of stringing. While his coworkers are threading needles, Walter is threading tales from the Mesozoic era of beading. He's seen it all – from the invention of the wheel to the evolution of bedazzlement. With a lifetime of experience and a stash of beads older than his colleagues combined, Walter proves that in the world of beads, age is just a number...preferably written in seed beads on a loom.

Walter's favorite item at Eureka: All the gemstones!

Bonnie

Meet Bonnie, the grandmaster of beads, the luminary of counting, and the virtuoso of packing. She’s the queen of rhinestones, the duchess of Delicas, and the empress of Czech glass. Part-time by title, full-time by spirit, she's the reigning monarch of meticulously counting each and every bead that passes through her hands. With a dedication unmatched by even the most fervent bead enthusiasts, Bonnie approaches her task with the intensity of a diamond cutter and the precision of a Swiss watchmaker.

Bonnie's favorite item at Eureka: ELITE crystal bicones!

Nishka

Meet Nishka, Eureka’s Marketing Maven! She works her magic to elevate our brand presence and conjure brand loyalty. Envisioning enchanting brand experiences that leave a lasting impression, from bewitching branding initiatives to captivating collaborations with influencers and affiliates, Nishka works to meet the needs of beaders worldwide and has had a life long passion for crystals, beads, and all things sparkly! When she is not working on coming up with fun new offerings for beaders at Eureka, you can find this self proclaimed ‘circus girl’ hanging upside down in the air on her lyra (a big steel hoop)!

Nishka's favorite item at Eureka: All the flat back rhinestones!

Peter

Meet our resident bead-counting extraordinaire, Peter. By day, he's numbers ninja, diving into the world of mergers and acquisitions like a pro accountant. But when the sun sets and the beads come out to play, you'll find him meticulously counting beads like it's an Olympic sport. With a keen eye for detail and a love for all things sparkly, Peter brings a whole new meaning to the term "bead-utiful." So here's to 20 years of counting beads and crunching numbers with flair!

Peter's favorite item at Eureka: The Eureka Mega Bundle!  Both of them, actually.

Sylwia

Meet our Purchasing Superhero, Sylwia. She is a virtual treasure hunter, scouring the digital realm for the shiniest gems and most enchanting beads to delight crafters and jewelry enthusiasts worldwide. With a click and a swipe, she weaves through a digital tapestry of suppliers, turning pixels into pearls and bytes into beads. Effortlessly juggles supplier emails and toddler giggles while hunting down the perfect beads for Eureka, proving that multitasking is her superpower.

Aga

If you're reading this, you've already met Aga. She is the Bead Goblin rummaging through Eureka's virtual aisles picking up beads to make projects out of, to later record tutorials for all beaders in need of a bit of inspiration. A PhD in bannerology and newsletterology from the University of Made Up Titles, she also makes sure you know about all the sales, deals & new products from Eureka's home page banners and our emails. When she's not designing or recording tutorials, she's beading to relax. When she's not beading to relax, she's thinking about beads. She would marry beads if that was legal. Rumor has it that if you say "beads" 3 times, she will appear behind you and teach you peyote.

Aga's favorite item at Eureka: all metallic Tohos with the Permafinsh coating & Miyukis with Duracoat finish!

We don't want to brag, but we might just have the best team out there. When we brainstorm new ideas, it is said you can hear thunder miles away.

Without rest, we are doing the best the 9 of us can to ensure not only the best and most refined selection of beads, crystals and supplies we can, but also the smoothest shopping experience that we can give you, and we will never stop in our efforts to find more interesting beads & jewelry making supplies and make beading easy and fun, from choosing your beads all the way to putting on your new beaded jewelry!

Thank you all for 20 years of steadfast love for beads!
