Great shop, great people. Always knowledgeable, and helpful. So very happy I found a great shop near home. The cats are a bonus!
Dorothy and Katherine are sooo helpful and professional!! They repaired a lot of my jewelry and I am more than pleased. I always enjoy visiting this store. This business is way better than the bead shop in Takoma Park, MD. I highly recommend this business!!!
An extensive selection of beads, but not very useful for my purposes. I mainly make beaded figurines with consistently sized bicone beads, which I could not find there. I am mostly impressed with their seed bead selection and would go there for seed beads. The lady who helped me was very nice and helped me find seed beads of a certain color. Note they do not accept credit cards for purchases less than $10. Also, they do not accept returns or exchanges.
Hard to find bead shop as it is upstairs next to a glass shop but excellent selection of pearls, gemstones, seed beads and findings. I enjoy the classes they offer and appreciate the longer hours the store is open making it possibly for those in VA to commute there on a weeknight. The trunk shows there are amazing and they have a great selection of seed beads.
I stopped by for seed beads. They carry Miyuki and the owner was friendly and helpful with ideas for my project. The selection was very good, especially considering the pandemic supply chain issues. I'll be going back for sure.
Originally several years ago the store was huge with a marvelous selection. However the store has shut down.
The staff is knowledgeable and welcoming. They have a nice selection of beads, metals, gemstone and glass. You can also take classes, which are offered in a room off the main sales floor. I enjoyed shopping there so much, I returned for more a week later!
This is a wonderful, comprehensive bead shop. The staff really are helpful and patient, and have experience with the products so they steer you in the right direction while not cramping your style. They offer many different classes and have a "bring your own beads" night where you can work on projects using the staff and equipment. Highly recommended if you want to embrace your creativity.
I visited this afternoon in hopes of purchasing beads, tools, and materials. A good friend of mine suggested I visit because they have crystal beads. Not only was I not greeted by the staff after I made eye contact and smiled, but no one bothered to ask if I needed any help, even after noticing I was having a hard time searching. Their loss. I was ready to spend a good amount on beads for my jewelery business.
Great collection of seed beads in size 11/0 if you're looking for this! Range of prices, but plenty of standard and in-between colours for less than the chain arts and crafts stores :
