One of the advantages of being a leader in the bead and jewelry component industry for more than 75 years is the opportunity to accumulate an extraordinary inventory of unique materials from across generations of manufacturing.
Over the decades, HARMAN has assembled an extensive collection of vintage beads, stones, crystals, glass components, and other specialty items from manufacturers around the world. The images shown here represent only a small portion of the inventory housed in our warehouse, where rows of shelving contain thousands of vintage products spanning a wide range of styles, colors, materials, and eras.
Our collection includes vintage crystals, Japanese, Italian, German and Czech glass beads and stones, vintage plastic components, and many other hard-to-find items that are no longer in production. Some products were acquired directly from manufacturers, while others were sourced through industry acquisitions and long-standing relationships built over decades.
While much of this inventory has not yet been added to our website, we are continually working to identify, catalog, and make additional items available online. These photographs offer a glimpse into the breadth and depth of the collection and the remarkable variety of materials that have passed through our warehouse over the years.
Whether you're searching for a rare vintage component, looking to match an existing design, or simply exploring the history of the industry, our vintage inventory represents a unique resource that few companies can offer.
We invite you to browse the images below and discover just a small sample of the vintage treasures that make up the HARMAN collection.
