Glass Pearls: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.25 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.15 at volume. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point, not a binding quote. Your spec and quantity set the final price.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.25 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.22 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.15 |
What moves the price
For glass pearls, the drivers are strip size, treatment chemistry, pack count, paper grade, shelf life, material, cut style, color — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale pricing for glass pearls is usually quoted by strand or batch rather than by each unit, and the best-supported route here is Alibaba-style factory listings and bead wholesalers with strand-based tiers. The main price drivers are pearl size/finish, strand count, color consistency, and whether the order is stock or custom-manufactured; landed-import pricing is often the closest published proxy for US-facing bulk buys. Larger quantities generally earn lower per-piece costs, but the source set only supports reliable pricing through the 5,000-9,999 tier
