A wonderful store! Friendly, knowledgable and skilled owner that even teaches classes. GREAT selection and even better price, especially compared to other, more pretentious stores in placerville. They have lots of gemstone beads, my main purchase. And good quality stuff. I get all my supplies here . read more

I'm new to beading and stopped in here on my way to Placerville recently. What great customer service from Carol! She showed me things that I would have never found on my own and the prices are very reasonable. Will definitely go back. read more

Basically Beads is my favorite bead store because of its customer service, inventory, and pricing. The prices can't be beat; and the owner is priceless -- a friendly and gifted beader who happily shares her goodness and wealth of knowledge with her customers. I've shopped many bead stores through the years, and in my opinion, Basically Beads beats them all. read more

Love this little store. Great selection, good prices and the owner is always helpful. I wish the lighting was better and they were open a bit later. But totally understand she has a family and life outside the store :-) read more

My wife wondered if there were any bead shops in the area. I checked and found this one closing in20 minutes. I called and asked if they still closed at four? The owner replied that if we could get there close to four, she would stay open. We arrived at five after and she was very accommodating and friendly. The store has a great selection, trust me I have been in too many bead stores, and this one has a lot to offer. read more

This shop is full to the brim with beads of all kinds - it's hard to leave once you enter. Linnea is great to work with and so creative with helpful suggestions. Great classes with one on one attention makes every project a success. Be sure to look at rocks, stones, and semi-precious gems while you browse. Linnea is very knowledgeable on rocks of all kinds. Awesome selection of seed beads! Worth a trip to Diamond Springs and save yourself time - skip Michael's and JoAnn's. read more
