A great selection of beads and very lovely staff willing to help you out. I also love that you have the option to craft in-store!

A Gem of a Bead Shop in Santa Monica on Ocean Park - Exceptional Service I recently took a long walk today and decided to visit a wonderful bead shop and had an absolutely fantastic experience. I needed to have my labradorite bracelet restrung and wanted to enhance its design with something unique. From the moment I walked in, I was met with warmth, expertise and offer to help. Michael was incredibly skilled and patient in helping me restring my own bracelet, ensuring that it was not only secure but also beautifully balanced. His attention to detail in the design of adding new sterling pieces to my bracelet made it a fun experience. Meanwhile, Olivia was an absolute gem in helping me choose the perfect sterling silver pieces from Thailand to complement my bracelet. She had an eye for design and guided me toward selections that truly elevated the overall look. The entire experience was seamless and enjoyable, and I left with a stunning, newly designed piece that I absolutely love. If you're looking for quality beads, expert restringing, or classes to learn how to create your own masterpiece please make it a place to visit with family and friends. read more

Great selection- all the beads, fixings findings and chains you would need, incredibly sweet staff, and overall just an absolute vibe. I'm a crafter so I loved spending my time in there digging through their (literal) rows of beads. I went in with no specific project in mind but left with so many cute finds and tons of advice from the staff. They were also wrapping up a group event with some kids while I was there- seems like a great place for a little one's DIY charm bracelet birthday. Lastly, if you're unsure what you want, you can also pay around 5 bucks(? not sure the exact number) to sit there and build something directly so you're not having to buy anything you're not sure if you'll actually use. And again, the staff are all endlessly kind and so knowledgeable- they'd def walk you through anything you're looking to do. If you're into beads, jewelrymaking, charms, crafting at all, this place is a must-stop-by. read more

I went to Beadahs looking for a necklace repair of coral beads. Service was great and I felt confident that the repair would be done well. I wasn't disappointed, and it was done within a few days. Note: shop looked like it had a very nice selection. read more

If I could give this a 10 stars I would! What a wonderful shop and a very cute cool area. The offering is extensive any bead you could ever want they have and then some. It was a very rusted assortment, which was so fun from a creative standpoint. We also had the most wonderful class with Mike. He could not have been more patient and articulate and detail oriented. It was absolutely perfect and he showed my daughter how to make a real necklace w clasp etc. he was so wonderful and he was married to the equally wonderful owner who was just absolutely delightful as well! My daughter and I had so much fun three hours flew by in the blink of an eye. They stayed open late for us they usually close at six and they stayed open until 630 so we could finish our piece which was incredibly nice just beautiful, can't wait to go back read more

I came in with an inspo pic of what I wanted to make and the girl there really helped me find all the right pieces. One of the owners also gave me some great advice on how to finish off the piece. Very grateful, I love it! Will definitely be back. read more

So much variety in the store and such great prices. Highly recommend. And the prices are the best I've ever seen

Great store, huge variety of beads. Visually pleasing for someone who absolutely loves beads. Too much to look at as I was on a limited time schedule, but I will definitely be back. The staff were very knowledgeable as well as courteous. I value small business and this black was so great! That had the beading needles and thread I needed and a good color variety of seed beads I was looking for. I will definitely be back when I have more time to look around! read more

Beadahs - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I love Beadahs. They have a very wide selection of beads and other items like bags, jewelry, and accessories. Shannon who is the owner, is very nice and welcoming. Mike is also very nice and welcoming. I was looking for a bead shop and came across this place on yelp. I came in and was looking at all the beads, and Mike approached me and asked if I needed any help. I told him this was my first time at Beadahs and asked how it all worked with the loose beads. He explained everything and brought me a tray to put my beads on. I picked out my beads I wanted, which took a while to chose because they have so many beads to choose from. I went to the register to pay, and Shannon asked if I wanted to take my home or if I wanted to make it in store. I decided to make it in store. Shannon asked if I wanted stretchy string or if I want a magnetic clasp. She got me a bead tray and cut the beads I was going to use to make my bracelet. After I was done stringing my beads, the other employee assisted me in finishing off my bracelet and added the magnetic clasp. Beadahs is a great place to purchase beads or anything you need to make jewelry. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Beadahs is an absolute GEM in every possible way! From the kindness, generosity and knowledge of the owners to the extraordinary selection of beads and findings to the hours, location and general sense of community you feel from the moment you enter and are greeted-- this place is not to be missed. Young and old, local and from all over Los Angeles, novice bead makers to experts, everyone is friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back! Five stars is not enough! read more

this place is a true find! I had broken the string on a set of 15th century Japanese beads, and I was quite concerned about getting it fixed. Mike one of the owners took great care of me. He re-strung the beads, charged me a very reasonable price and did a fantastic job. They have a huge selection of silver chains, beads & pendants from all over the world, gorgeous Thai statues and lots and lots of jewelry. read more

Beadahs is a lovely neighborhood bead shop! I came in here recently to get some crystal bead bracelets shortened and they were friendly and did an absolutely great job achieving the right size for my bracelets. They were able to do the adjustment on the spot and there's tons of beautiful items to browse while waiting, including jewelry, beads, pendants and crystals. I'm definitely curious to come back and possibly pick some beads and make some of my own jewelry next time!! Prices were great as well, and there's a cute little coffee shop next door if you want to make a fun little outing! read more

So this place is like a toy store for adults. If you like making jewelry as your toys! My bf and I decided to make necklaces for our anniversary. So they basically tel you how to start when making the necklace and they give you a board to place the beads and other trinkets you want. You can also make bracelets and other fun things. They have such a crazy variety of beads and other stones and what not. I chose lava rock beads, beads made out of bones, a flower pendant, and some others things. And he chose some really cool things with lots of meaning. Casey was the person who helped us and she was awesome! Helping every step of the way! We've come before to get necklaces fixed and Ben usually helps and he's also very good at what he does. This is such an awesome experience and you can't make gifts for people that really mean something. They have things from all over the world. My necklace altogether cost $69 with the different beads. You can find a row of beads to start of with from like 12$-40+$ Ps. A lot of ppl seem to be complaining about the owner and the people working there and their attention to customers. I will say the owner can be a bit much and seem a little rude at first but after a while she was fine and actually laughing and taking with my bf and I. The coworker I worked with today was great. She did spend some time with one particular customer for a while but between us three she was doing a great job at answering all of our questions and helping us in a timely manner. And yes! You do have to write down every trinket you get with the price, code, and a small description but it's honestly not that big of a deal. And I would suggest just doing it because it helps the checkout become a lot faster. They have so many little trinkets to sell so if they have to figure out what you added then it's gonna be a while. read more

WHAT A FIND!! I've passed this store many times but thought it was only for a particular clientele until I went in and asked if they repaired jewelry. I brought in 3 pieces for repair. One was a lovely charm that needed a particular type of sterling silver chain - which Beadahs had. Another was a beautiful stone from Barbados, and Beadahs found a beautiful (and adjustable) necklace for it. The final piece was an intricate design I've owned for over 30 years and the leather broke. I was devastated thinking that it was not repairable but Beadahs made it look brand new. I thought I'd need to leave the pieces but they had them ready in 15 minutes and the price? The price was astoundingly low so I left them a nice tip. The workmanship was impeccable and is worth 4 times what they charged. They were the friendliest and most helpful people and I hope everyone goes out of their way to support this little shop. read more

This is a delightful store. Shannon was so helpful. Prices were reasonable. I will certainly be back.

Such a nice place and the people working there are the best. I came in to get a bracelet restrung and just assumed I'd have to leave it and come back later, but instead the woman working there did it while I waited. She was so helpful and so kind. Definitely five stars. read more

I wanted to create a piece to incorporate with my wedding gown. It wasn't exactly a necklace, however the staff was beyond helpful and knowledgeable in directing me to what I would need. They have an excellent and complete inventory. You can even create while at the studio. read more

I loooove this place. Very beautiful interior and so many beads from all the over the world to peruse and craft into jewelry! So far I've just had help repairing a beaded bracelet, which Ermie did a wonderful job with. She took the time to walk me through how she would repair it and the cost was very reasonable ($12-13) for her time, expertise, labor, and new materials. I plan on coming back for some of their classes! read more

They are so lovely here. I could not imagine a more helpful or warm bead shop. I had a charm I needed put on a chain because I couldn't find one it fit through and they took their time and helped me with love and care. Thanks Beadahs! read more

I like it here! I bought a lot of cute pendants. But in relation to other bead stores I've been to, the prices are a bit high. About $8 for a string of no more than 10 butterfly beads. Some pendants are priced nicely while others end up on the pricier side. But the variety of charms and pendants is hard to beat. Will be back! read more

My favorite shop on Ocean Park with the best selection of jewelry making supplies around, as well as some nice ready made pieces. They do excellent repairs, as well. read more

Beautiful shop with so many styles. Had exactly what I was looking for. Hidden treasures abound. Highly recommend

Wow! Talk about beads galore! They have every kind of bead you could imagine here. The staff is also very helpful and attentive to the customers needs. read more

Excellent!!! Shannon, the owner of Beadah's, is a phenomenal lady with a like-minded staff who are always kind and gracious. Her mom, Ernie, is her partner, and she's kind and warm, with a great sense of humor. Shannon's husband Mike, along with Rosalee who both helped me, were also fantastic! The store is large and beautiful, with an over-flowing selection of single beads, ranging from .15 cents on up, and much, much more as well, from around the world. My 'Go To' spot for beads now after repeated poor experiences at Bead Boutique near The Grove on 3rd St. in Hollywood, which I would suggest you avoid like the plague! read more

I needed to return an item. I did not have receipt, they still made good. Nice store, they are now on OP Blvd. read more

Stumbled on this place and it was the best surprise. Truly made my week and I'm telling everyone. The variety of beads/jewelry hardware, the calming but creative ambiance, and the SERVICE!! They went out of their way to help me test different beads on different chains I was interested in, were sharp with product knowledge, and even made (literally demonstrated) theoretical designs I could do to solve an issue I had with a project!! And they even welcomed me to bring back my own small project so I could work on it at the little workstation setups they have available (where I can get their help/use their tools as needed/etc). AND, I saw they have classes throughout the week. What I meant to originally only be a quick look through to see selection, ended up being me spending over an hour just enjoying this shop. I'm not even a particularly crafty person, but I would start craft projects just to have an excuse to shop here. Shannon, Mike, and the remaining woman working today were incredible and I recommend anyone who likes spunky, creative, calming vibes, who is looking for beads, or who is remotely interested in jewelry to visit. read more

Diamond in the rough So glad I found this place, hidden in a Santa Monica strip mall type alcove, and it is so homey. One of those places you could spend all day in. They were very helpful and patience w/ me (I got a little excited and couldn't decide on anything). So many options and they also have classes there, which I will be trying then updating my review. I WILL BE BACK! And it's so much nicer to give your money to a mom and pop rather than a huge corp. craft store. read more

Friendly and supportive staff, no project is too small or too big. I brought a string of pearl with me and the ladies there patiently help me pick out the size and color of the silk string, let me use the table and tools ($3 table fee per project) and offer helpful tips throughout my pearl knotting experience. End result? Finished this beautiful piece and paid $10 within 90min. Will be back for MORE!! read more
