Huge store with a great selection. Matt was so helpful in finding what I needed. I will definitely be back! read more

Ornamental Beads - Free stickers! - Jewelry Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

What an amazing store and the people that own it! I did not go to this store to purchase beads. I went to have a neck cord put into a polished boulder opal with a hole drilled through it for such a cord. The gentleman who helped me ( my impression was is was the owner or one if the owners), asked all the right questions and then went confidently around this very large store pulling out boxes that contained the materials he needed. We then went to a work station where he proceeded to do a very delicate and skilled job creating my necklace. When it was all done, I had exactly what I wanted and at what I thought was a very reasonable price! Because I was not buying beads or similar items, I did not go up and down every aisle in the store. But from what I saw, the selection of materials was beyond impressive!! Highly recommended!! read more

Friendly customer service, they help find just the thing you are looking for! Prices seem to be staying flat and choices. Infinite!

This is the BEST bead store around. Everything is meticulously organized making such a large selection of inventory very easy to navigate. The shop is family owned and operated. They are knowledgeable, helpful and extremely friendly. You really cannot beat the value either. It's refreshing to see a family owned small business that can provide honest prices to their customers! I will be a loyal customer of this place for life! read more

I visited ornamental beads last week and was impressed by their large selection of beads, findings, and charms. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. There aren't very many bead stores around anymore. I would highly recommend ornamental beads. read more

Fantastic service and beautiful beads. I first ordered from them 20 years ago and they still had a copy of my order from almost 10 years ago. They were fast, efficient, & polite. I would recommend to everyone. Marj Metzger read more

Ugly shop, depressing, though you will find beads here that you won't find anywhere else. However, a lot of the beads seem outdated, like they're from the 70's. Not a pleasant shopping experience despite I was able to get a couple tools I needed. Prices were "okay." read more

OMG....this place had everything imaginable for jewelry making. I was visiting from out of town and found beads I couldn't get anywhere else. The gentleman that helped me was so accommodating. They have a website you can find all your needs . I highly recommend! read more

For those that do Peyote, the supply of seed beads is minimal but they are the first to share this. They didn't have specific suggestions for where to go. read more

Awesome store with so many choices for do it yourself jewelry and accessories. Brought my bracelets in for repair. Robin took great care of us and helped with questions about wrapping stones and making necklaces. A wide variety from all over the world. Gems, raw stone and polished pieces. Thanks Robin read more

Always welcoming and helpful! I've learned so much from the owners about findings and how to properly make jewelry. I love digging through the open bead table!!! read more

Not a beautiful, inspiring store, prices are not amazing. But a good selection of semi precious stones.

Hands down, this is Denver's best bead store. Don't order from the mega shopping sites. Keep it local, save hometown businesses and actually save more money and time. read more

I have a turquoise bead necklace that has been sitting unfinished for years. I saw Ornamental Beads as I was driving to work and noticed they do jewelry repair. They finished my necklace for about $5 and it is exactly what I asked for! read more

Love ... Love ... everything about this place. The pup and kitties are sweeties, selection is awesome, owners are very nice and helpful and always open to giving you suggestions. So happy this place is around. I visit it almost weekly. Haha. read more

Wonderful family owned beads shop!! Amazing and friendly customer service. I buy all my beads here. Great prices and feel good supporting a local small business. They also have $3 bead strands and have found some great steals for mala necklaces read more

I stopped in after driving by many times since I'm in the area. I was the only customer in the store for about ten minutes and it took the full ten minutes to even be acknowledged. The lady running the store seemed rude and and didn't ask if I needed help or to even say hello. Finally a gentleman came from the back and offered help and I made a purchase. The part that made me feel so strongly is that as I was checking out another customer walked in and was greeted by the lady who ignored me completely and I overhead her say it was her first time in the store and explain what she was looking for and the lady in the store helped her immediately. The only difference I could see between that customer and myself is she looked Caucasian and I do not. Coincidence....? I hope that what I am assuming is not the case and that this shop would be welcoming to minorities but my experience here was unpleasant. I won't be returning and hope that the lady running the store would be welcoming to all customers in the future. I would've been a repeat customer and told my friends who also love in the area but unfortunately this is the narrative I have for them instead. read more

Bead it! Bead it! Bead it! Bead it! Get yourself some beads and Bead it! Necklace so funky, Earrings just right Bead it up classy, Bead it up tight Just Bead it... bead it bead it bead it... (hh hhhh... hh hhhhh...) If you don't know what that's supposed to sound like, we can't be friends. Nope, we just can't. Don't even try it. Not only do they have more beads than you can shake a stick at (if shaking sticks at beads is your thing), the staff here is SO helpful. They didn't even bat an eye at my renegade toddler doing renegade toddler things. In fact, *I* was the one tsk-tsking under my breath because really, WHO brings a 2.5 year old boy to a bead store!?!? Some people, sheesh. *big eye roll at self* The guy helping me out (sorry, I never caught his name) was really great. He helped my clueless ass find everything I needed and even hooked it up for me right there on a little craft table. Now THAT is above-and-beyond service. I walked out of the place with a perfect, personalized bookmark for a friend (yes, it's more than just jewelery up in there) for less than it would've cost me to buy a pre-made one at store. How freakin' cool is that? I'll answer that for you: VERY. read more

There are so many nice things I can say about this beach shop. Most of the previous reviewer's have hit the major points. Extensive collection of amazing beads, stones, chains, and jewelry findings. My mom and I literally spent hours in there! I thought another reviewer was a bit ... shall we say "off" (?) when she said she spent hours there. I apologize for that. You can get hypnotized by everything that is available. However the real charm of this store is in the her and her family. What a time and generously spirited set of individuals to be around. You can feel their love of the business and the joy they take in their customers. Walking in was especially wonderful as Women of Color. The standard initial awkwardness that happens as we try to navigate how we will be assisted was absent. We did not feel ignored nor as if we were about to take the "five finger discount" the minute we walked in the door. The fact that this stands out as such a natural, comfortable experience will resonate with those of you for this is an important factor. We left with far more items than we were expecting to buy, but there is no buyers remorse and in fact we are plotting our return. read more

Visited for the first time to get materials to make a necklace for an unusual pendant. Jennifer helped us pick out the best hardware and then even put it all together for us! Massive selection/stock. And Ms Bossy the sweet shop kitty was there for quality control too! read more

Robin is an extraordinary craftswoman when it comes to repairing jewelry. I had multiple necklaces with different challenges. One was a bedouin necklace hanging by threads that didn't lay flat. She expertly restrung it and kept it authentic so now I can wear it. Thank you Robin! read more

I love this store!!!!! The ladies are amazing and helpful, truly beautiful people.... Showing me the sale (yay ) sections and being patient with my sons incessant questions..... I honestly can't wait to visit again ! And the selection and variety..... Simply amazing read more

I love this store. Looks small from outside but inside it goes back into another bigger room. They have everything from beads to tools, glue, charms. They have almost 99% of charms I look for. I love making my own jewelry. Staff is great, other customers are great. I have learned tricks on beading from other customers so cool atmosphere. They have a cat in the store. Meow! read more

Hands down my favorite jewelry supply store in Denver. (Well,Wheat Ridge ;)) I've been a customer for years and I've never had a complaint. From the first time I shopped with them until now I've always felt very welcome,they are incredibly helpful and offer some of the best pricing I've seen. They know me by a first name basis and make me feel totally valued. Thanks Lori,Matt and the Ornamemtal Beads team for all you do!! read more

Love this store! I was so happy when they reopened, and I was able to find the beads I have been searching for a year now. I could have spent so much more money, but my hubby would not have been happy about that. I use beads not only for several jewelry projects, but also needlework projects and it is nice to have a great selection of beads near by. read more

Just stopped in to check this place out and left with lots of lovely beads and findings. Very helpful and well organized. Will definitely be back! read more

My first time here, was amazed by the selection!! Spent 2 hours here and really had a great time picking out my beads. So many, I will need to go back! Great friendly staff and helpful!! read more

Great bead store, I stop here every time I'm in Denver. Good bead selection, Nice staff, good discounts when you buy in bulk, best prices on leather chord I've found anywhere. Would love it if they'd get some more C-lon and S-lon options, but love what they do have! read more

Best bead store I've found in Denver, or jewelry supply store I should say. They have a big selection and are open everyday. There is sometimes a cute cat or dog in there too. The people are nice. read more

I live close by this store and this was the first time I've been here. The staff was very friendly and polite. I went in to find a replacement gold plated lobster clasp and another piece for my necklace which had faded. The lady helped me find the right clasp and I am very happy with the products I purchased. Reasonable priced as well, I would highly recommend this store to all. Thanks so much!!! read more

This is the bead store that I used to make a point of going to every time I was in Idaho Springs. It's definitely more convenient that they are down here, but probably bad for my pocketbook. It's a pretty good place to go to if you plan on making things in bulk, given that everything is cheaper if you buy in larger quantities. They have larger quantities of metal charms and glass beads than anything else, but also have semiprecious stones and some bones, They also carry a fair amount of wire, elastic, and string. If you wanna buy something you must take the entire box down and mark the quantity on a post-it. They do give you little carts to push around, so you don't have to attempt to juggle an armful of boxes. I met the owner the last time I was there and she is extremely friendly and was willing to give me some tips on stringing pearls (even though they offer a stringing class) which was awesome!! I know I'm going to end up here again soon given that I have the "If you give a Moose a Muffin syndrome". * * eg. If you give Mariko some string, she's going to need some beads. When she has the beads she'll remember the really awesome necklace she saw at Pandora that was too long so she'll decide to make a shorter crappier version. And when she has that version...... read more

This place is incredible! I've checked out most craft stores in Denver and this one has by far the best selection. I'm sooo happy to have found it. I've been in twice and each time the owners have been incredibly helpful. During both visits they spent (literally) hours guiding me through what I might need to create my vision. I must have been kind of a pain because I had little idea or direction but they were so patient. This isn't a huge store, but it's set up almost like a small warehouse in the back... rows and rows of different beads, charms, chains... almost anything you would need to make, well, anything jewelry-related. There is a good selection of beads up front but the best is their charms. Lots of really unique and vintage pieces. They offer crafting classes but also encouraged me to just come in and ask questions if I want. This store will definitely be my go-to from now on. I love it! read more

Sooo I started a Christmas ring/necklace gift project that went awry. I'm now making rings all the time! What should I do with them? Sell them/gift them/hoard them? I don't know! In any case, these guys are now my go-to place for beads and findings! They are super helpful, and their prices are VERY fair! They also have such a great selection of cool beads. Way better selection than Michael's and Hobby Lobby, AND they're local! Definitely check them out! read more

This really is a great bead store. They have everything you need to bead. The owner is fantastic and they are offering some great classes.

I was very impressed how well organized the store is with all the beads grouped by material, type, size, color, etc. I was running out of time trying to put together a valentines gift and the nice lady working there (sorry, can't remember her name), was so helpful. They have some interesting selections. I do want to mention that Michael's puts up some competition with thier bead selection at super low prices so shop around if you have the time. read more

Incredible selection and knowledgeable staff. I needed to find themed beads to use for a Pinup Rockabilly wedding to use in earrings as bridesmaid gifts. When I asked how many styles they had that would fit for that theme I was pleasantly surprised on how many choices of beads I got to choose from. Each bridesmaid was able to get her own unique set of earrings and they were thrilled! Great store for a special project! read more

good selection and decent prices, but the best part is the stock from another company they bought out in the back which is a good selection of older beads - Jennifer was extremely helpful and as a bonus they have two cats read more

unbelievably great place for repairing jewelry. so reasonable and so nice and so imaginative. They have great beads and workshops too.

friendly staff. dig the cats that just roam around. lots of options. overall love this place.

I love that there is a bead supply store nearby. There is a good selection and the customer service is always great. The only reason I don't give a five-star review is that although they do have a good selection of beads, charms, findings, etc. they don't always have what I am looking for (very specific supplies). read more
