Meet The Bead Queens

What happens when two cool girls with cool kids and families decide to start a business?

Their Royal Beadness came together in 1999. From the first craft fair, the legend of high quality jewelry, impeccable customer service and a certain joi d'vive grew throughout northwest Arkansas. Soon, no hip mom could have a birthday party without the purple wigs and golden crowns of Their Royal Beadness.

Her Royal Beadness Libby worked in various craft arts before discovering her true calling among the beads. The former banker and BBA grad of Northeast Louisiana University has two lovely children, Will and Ashley, and as luck would have it, one husband, Bill.

Her Royal Beadness Melissa had a background in public relations and marketing. The former Hawkeye has her BS from Iowa and in her previous life was inside the Beltway before migrating to Arkansas with her Hog Wild husband Scott. She also has a pair of lovely children, Nathan and Emily.
