Located in Old Town Florence, OR absolutely worth taking a half hour or more to wander in and see what they are displaying. Beautiful pieces very reasonable prices, everything from tumbled crystals and small pouches to put them in if gifting, to larger signature pieces that deserve to be taken home and used as guardians. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about their inventory and sourcing, and truly welcoming and hospitable to all ages. They reassured parents that children were welcome to hold pieces, touch them and get to know them in order to understand what they wanted to take home. I was curious what they kept in their glass shelves and was not disappointed by the selection of Lemurian quartz clusters from Colombia and delicate shells and carvings by local artists. I found an ideal chunk of pink tourmaline that I had been looking for. The price was perfect. I was grateful to bring it home to work with. Looking forward to returning. read more

I've stopped in here a couple times and it's a nice little place. There are so many rocks and crystals to look at and some are decently priced. They do have some things that are more expensive than usual I think, but it's locally made so it's more understandable. The employee was super nice and showed us some rings that we ended up not being able to afford. She was very friendly and patient and gave us her full attention. There is street parking out front as well as a couple of lots nearby. There's a public restroom down the street too. This is a great place to stop in if you're just looking to browse, especially if you love rocks! read more

I am fully aware that a international health crisis is happening as I am an essential worker, however, humanity should not show its worse during a crisis. I went here with a group and was immediately confronted by the owner, not even a hello it was instead "Did you sanitize your hands before coming in?" In a tone that was demanding. Of course I did! I used to come here all the time and she was so sweet and helpful, now it feels like an attack when you come through the door. I will not be going back until this is over. read more

I am amazed by this bead shop. They not only have this big and fantastic space with so many choices of colorful beads and stones.. but they've got so many wonderful and unusual findings as well. They also have a lot of jewelry chain that I have not seen before which I had to purchase a little bit of. I've been in a lot of bead shops and this one is my favorite. The women in there are so helpful and were all over me to give me ideas about something I was in need of. They also say you can come in and just sit with them and they will help you with any jewelry projects you may need assistance with. I received 10% off because I sell my wares which was a very lovely bonus. Their pricing is very reasonable. It's a beautiful space and wished I lived closer so I could visit it often though I would probably go broke as it would be very addicting. read more

While this is a very pretty store who teaches more jewelry crafting as far as a bead store goes I did not find the best selection for my taste. They are very nice here but if your just looking for beads probably not your best stop. read more

I visited this bead store over the weekend and was definitely satisfied with it. It's easy to find, everyone seems to want to help you, and it's full of beads. If I had to find a flaw I'd say that every once in a while you'll stumble across some beads or findings that aren't labeled with a price(the container/tray that they're in) but that's hardly a flaw. I've visited bead stores on both coasts and this one is one of the better ones. Friendly, it has a very inviting atmosphere, full of new things, as well as finished jewelry for inspiration. Their pricing also seemed to be fair in my opinion, which is always nice. The staff/owners have got it down pat too. Personally I think that overly attentive staff are pretty annoying, and nothing else will chase me out of a store faster. This is not the case in this lovely bead store. I was greeted by everyone in turn, told where the bead trays were and what to do, and then left to browse to my contentment, which is as it should be. Very pleased about that. Their selection is a pretty wide range and covers all the bases. Glass/ceramic/ metal/trade/wood/shell/bone beads, findings, new and with various patinas. I feel like they lived up to their advertisement of having unique beads, and they also had glass beads(focals) that were locally made. Along with having beads, they also had an assortment beautiful woven baskets, which I avoided looking at in an attempt to not buy one. It's worth a visit if you're in the area, especially if you're looking for a bead shop that is relaxing. read more

The store is really pretty. There is so much variety in what they have, such history, uniqueness and color. I am really enjoying my morning sitting here looking at beads. Prices are good considering quality and variety. Wish there were more shops like this one. read more

Gorgeous store with a wonderful selection of shells, filigree, thread and stringing materials, and a well curated selection of seed beads and shaped beads. No Czech seed beads, but they have both Toho and Miyuki seeds and cylinders. I didn't see any Matsuno or Matubo. Lots of individual beads for stringing. The space is wonderful and the owner is kind and helpful. I was happy for the 10% off Yelp coupon, however, as the prices are basically full MSRP retail. A great place to go for inspiration and unusual components. I love supporting brick and mortar stores, and this one is highly recommended. The bulk of my purchases will continue to be with online stores, as the prices are just too tempting. I would give this store another star if they come up with a preferred customer discount or some sort of tiered pricing incentive. I have been a serious bead worker since the early 1980s (when I made my living doing beaded earrings for quite a few years) and have purchased beads from literally hundreds of sources, so I hope four stars is understood in this context. You should definitely stop at this lovely store. read more

I have shopped at many bead stores over my 30 years of beading. This is one of the best stores I have encountered. They have so many unique and unusual items. The store is chock full of beautiful beads and findings. The staff is so kind and helpful. Such an incredible place. I'm only visiting Florence for two weeks but have already gone to this bead store 3 times and plan to go another time or two. This small town is so lucky to have such an incredible bead store. read more

This is an absolutely amazing bead shop. I have visited many, many bead shops around the U.S. on our travels, and this one is as good as it gets. Easy to get to, since it's right on Hwy. 101, they are open lots, and the people who work there are very helpful and creative. If you like beading, or know someone who does, plan to spend some quality time here. read more
