At Maruti beads, we believe in green business practices. Therefore, all Maruti, Kashmiri and Lac products are made to order specifically to our customers needs. Besides, no middleman allows us to pass-on savings to you while remaining Eco-Friendly.

We have a suggestion, from some of our wonderful customers who have felt the same way.

Because our specialty, Lac & Kashmiri beads & jewelry are manufactured in bulk, our minimum quantity requirements may be too large for individual needs. Due to this, some customers combine their order with a friend or two. We find this a fantastic idea that is both environmentally friendly and economically smart…it saves on shipping fees.

However, if you have a special request we do want to hear from you. Use our handy contact form to speak with a customer service representative. They are always happy to help, just be ready with your exact amount requested and model number and we will do our best to assist you.
