Guess what? They have silver in a size 8 bead, and it isn't a rare thing. Yep, I'm being snarky…read moreabout a different store for a project I'm doing on a denim jacket. My husband and I do mountainman fur trade recreation and this is the best store to get authentic (well authentic as new beads can be, LOL) beads for my beadwork. And they are very nice to help out on steering you in the right direction if you have questions. I've not shopped in the rest of the store but it seems pretty nice. Not cheap wanna-be native american stuff. Or tourist-y stuff.

This happened to me and my prized possessions came back to me sad! I took my beautiful family ring into Buffalo Chips and had no worries. The staff works on your stuff right there!

Big beads, "sorta" big beads, medium beads, medium-small beads, little beads, tiny beads, and even tinier beads barely visible to the eye. Glass beads and crystals. Here, you can buy the rainbow. Or just one color in the spectrum. Heck, you don't even need to buy a bead, you can buy stones, instead. And those, too, come in multiple sizes and colors. Some with patterns, some not. All of this leads to the inevitable -- what to do with the stash you see and buy. Make jewelry of course, or add some decoration to a favorite item. Anything you want. If making jewelry is your passion, or a wannabe passion, come here. They have all the supplies you need -- metal wire of every kind, chains in multiple sizes and styles, string, even large metal pieces to decorate or string. On the wall are some ready-made items for sale if you want to pretend a) you know the artist personally and bought it directly or b) that you made it yourself. Buy the Bead also offers classes and if you're looking for guidance or help in gathering things for your vision -- ask. It's clear they love what they do here.

And probably won't be requesting a gift card for them either for Christmas.
