FROM THE WORKBENCH01 / COMPONENTS IN GOOD COMPANY
Made with intention.Built on experience.Ready for your ideas.
01 / THE BUILDING BLOCKS
The little clasp.
The big difference.
Magnetic at the center. Threaded at the leather. A clever connection that makes the whole piece yours to change.
01
Freakishly strong. Made to be remade.
A satisfying magnetic connection is only half the story. Our clasp ends screw directly onto the leather—so you can take a piece apart, change its beads, replace the leather, and use the same clasp again. All without glue.
- Strong magnetic closure at the center
- Screw-on / screw-off leather attachment
- Reusable clasp. Reconfigurable jewelry. No glue.
Our metal components are made in Tulsa and paired with sourced materials, including Grecian leather and pearls. Materials and finishes vary by design.

01 / THREADS AT THE LEATHER
The leather is the connection.
The metal clasp end screws directly onto the leather. Its internal threads grip the cord, so assembly needs no glue.

NATE & GREG / THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PIECES
02 / A REAL WORKSHOP. REAL PEOPLE.
Twenty-plus years.
Still making.
We’re Nate and Greg. We started making jewelry in Tulsa in 2003, with a small lathe and a lot of curiosity.
That curiosity became Spexton, and it’s still behind what we do today. American Bead Factory brings our experience in design, machining, finishing, and building jewelry brands into one place.
We know these pieces from the inside out because we make the metal components ourselves. When you bring us an idea, you’re talking with the people who can help bring it to life.

03 / ONE WORKSHOP. MANY POINTS OF VIEW.
What could it
become?
Our own brands show how different a collection can feel. Your store, your customer, and your ideas can take the next one somewhere else.
Landella
Color with a point of view.Expressive beads and unexpected combinations. Jewelry for people who enjoy a little more color.
Stillspur
Western spirit. In development.A future direction exploring leather, warm metals, and a distinctly Western sensibility.
04 / LET’S START SOMEWHERE
Work with us.
Your way.
You don’t need a fully formed collection to start a conversation.
05 / A CONVERSATION IS A GOOD START
What will we
make next?
A few components. Something for your store. A collection with your name on it.
Tell us a little about yourself and what you have in mind. We’ll take it from there.
Your idea goes straight to the maker.
