Discover a vast selection of natural colours and sizes, along with a comprehensive collection of bead stringing materials and jewelry accessories from GRIFFIN, the original German brand since 1866.

A Legacy of 140+ Years

Griffin was founded by Carl Schinle in 1866 in Schramberg, Germany, and has remained a family-owned business for over 140 years. Recognizing the jewelry industry's need for expertly crafted thread for creating chokers and necklaces, Carl Schinle established the GRIFFIN trademark to fulfil this demand for fine-spun natural silk.

The griffin, inspired by the Schramberg crest, symbolizes the outstanding quality of beading thread made from pure silk. Today, Griffin's product range has expanded to include high-tech fibres and refined metal wires, catering to the evolving demands of the jewelry sector.
