Bead Here Now

I had a necklace made of stone and leather that a dear friend gave me. It started unraveling and fell apart. I’m very particular about jewelry in general and having someone repair it (spiritual thing, ya know). When I walked in to their shop I instantly felt comfortable and surrounded with warmth and friendliness. One of the ladies (can’t remember her name, it was a few months ago) did a tremendous job repairing it! Even gave her a well deserved tip. Thank you for making my necklace/​bracelet wearable again!

I feel regretfully that I should warn serious beaders to stay away from this store. It isn’t really a full service bead store; one wall is devoted to a display of glass and semi precious beads and a small offering of seed beads, delicas and shaped beads – there are metal beads in bowls tucked around the counter. Loose glass beads are in bowls on another table with a high mark up. Prices are quite high; I looked at three strands of Czech glass beads with a tag that read $ 12. When I asked if all three were in total $ 12, I was told yes so I bought them. When I got home I found I had been charged $ 36. When I called to ask about this I was told that I was warned at check out that the beads were 12 dollars a strand. I don’t think this is the case. I was offered the opportunity to bring them back for a refund, a practice they do not regularly endorse. I normally go out of my way to support brick and mortar bead stores. Two excellent bead stores went out of business in 2014. But I think that Bead Here Now is a gift shop that sells beads on the side at a very high mark up. I won’t be beading there again.

I am making bracelets for my daughter’s friends to take home from her birthday party but know nothing about making jewelry. It was great to have a person to talk through the process with and the selection of jewelry parts was great. I had to resist looking at the beautiful wall of beads but I did browse the cool purses and bags. You should definitely check it out.

Lots of cute accessories and crafting materials. This store is a very fun one to browse, and if you’re into what they’ve got, buy.
They have a meditation rock that says «i farted» in pretty cursive lettering.
I couldn’t stop laughing.
Worth a look if you’re wandering 5 points!

Do you make jewelry and need a place to buy some delicious beads with which to make said jewelry? Well, this is your spot.
OR, do you not make jewelry, but enjoy staring into rows and rows of beautiful beads and getting lost inside the amazing colors and shapes and sizes and resorting to your two year old mentality that tells you to grab those little beautiful beads and shove them in your mouth [because ingesting all things interesting was the name of the game]? Well you are in luck because this also the place for YOU! Except don’t actually put the beads in your mouth.
I love this store. I don’t make jewelry, but I still occasionally find myself wandering through its rows of beads, sticking my fingers into the bowls of little brightly colored balls, and taking it all in. It is somehow a rejuvenating experience, even for the simple admirers like myself.
If you do make jewelry, this place has an amazingly impressive selection and everything you might need to make some awesome pieces.
Pretty pretty and functional. What could be bad?
