Lovely Clasps, Connectors and par Puca Beads from ArgusCollection / The Beading Gem

I have featured ArgusCollection, a beader’s supply haven, several times before. It was started by Canadian beader, Quinn Cruise with help from her Mum, Alison.
They specializes in magnetic and other pretty clasps and lots, and lots of beads.  They are the exclusive suppliers for Jesse James Beads, Hiilos Interchangeable Clasps, Les Perles par Puca
and Best Beads Leather and Leather Findings in Canada. The incredibly huge range of Les Perles par Puca beads are a must see.  I did not realize there were so many colors!

They have all the Delica colours ever made! (a whole lotta wall space) as well as a broad range of Miyuki Seed Beads and shaped beads such as Tila. Argus is the largest seller of Cymbal Metal Elements in Canada.

Their Jesse James mixes which features both beads and metal components, are all yummy!

All in all, the collections are stocked by a beader for beaders. 

Quinn explained:

I fell in love with beading and jewellery making after a difficult time in my life. All those little beads and findings helped get me through it. I am deaf so it was difficult for me to take classes and the whole Zoom thing hadn’t happened yet. But I used books and magazine to learn the various techniques. From there it was a short step into selling my jewellery at summer art and craft shows. I graduated just as the pandemic hit! A lousy time to look for a job. I had so much inventory from years of beading that I decided to open an Etsy shop to sell some of it and make a bit of money.

And as they say, the rest is history.
