- Nia Chesswas, owner

Welcome to The Bead Hold!

We are a New Zealand business based in Taranaki, New Zealand, owned and operated by our own Queen Bead, Nia Chesswas. We first opened in Point Chevalier, Auckland 2005 and relocated to Taranaki in 2013.

Nia handselects our products from around the globe, designs kitsets, maintains the website, creates tutorials and packs the parcels, sending our beads and findings throughout New Zealand and the world. Nia runs all aspects of the business with some help from the lovely Kath, Mr Bead and well supervised by our bead babies.

Your support is essential to maintaining the business and much appreciated.

Feel free to contact Nia with any queries or requests.

Our Bead Babes!

Frederick (7yrs), Genevieve (3yrs), Edward (5yrs) Johnny (1 year).
You can guess the age of Mr Bead and I!

The Bead Hold Royal Family

Our Royal Family started from the first day of classes at Pt Chevalier in 2004 as a way of openly acknowledging the person who had created the class. Each class/design is prefaced by a name with a title. This lets you know who created that class. For example, Countess Kathy's Bead Basics is named after Kathy Dannerbeck of Beads and Beyond, Seattle, WA, as she gave us permission to use her basics framework and techniques in our classes.

As each member of Team Bead class/design that is taught/kitsetted, she becomes a Lady. Therefore, if you see 'Lady Deborah's Chain Linking class,' you will know that Deb created that class. Any class that is prefaced by 'Queen Bead,' means that Nia created the class and so on.

While we cannot copyright basic techniques, we can copyright the designs of our beading classes, and as such, none of our classes may be taught without permission as they are the intellectual property of The Bead Hold.

If you would like to know more about the possibilities of teaching our classes, please contact Nia for further information.
