What People Are Saying About Bead Boutique
Featured Review

In Short – The bead's the star in this beautiful gem of a shop on West Third Street. The custom walnut fixtures and precious merchandising make the lowliest seed bead feel like a valuable jewel. Beads are divided by color around the shop and displayed in a variety of vessels, from tiny vintage saucers to rustic wood bowls. The shop also carries its own line of custom (and, yes, trendy) necklaces, earrings and bracelets that also offer inspiration for personal creations. Take a seat on the cozy window seat and design your piece, or sit back and let the staff do it all for you (for a fee…
Editor's Tips
- Look Good:
- The selection reflects the latest trends in color and material. It's impossible not to be inspired.
- Know Before You Go:
- A stop here can be pricey, especially if you go the lazy girl route and have them put it together for you.

I like this store, but I can't go back.
by bellaballberg
I have been in this store twice. And spent a total of approx $450 at this store on three pieces of jewelry that I had made at the store. I did not assemble any of them myself.
I thought the prices were a bit high, but the designs that the staff helped me come up with were great.
Unfortunately, all of these pieces have broken.
One I never wore one piece because it was unable to be untangled when I got home. Many have tried to untangle it. It is a joke. The staff insisted that clasps were not necessary and that the chain was thick enough to prevent the tangling concerns I had at that time. $150 wasted. I called and they said I could pay to have it redone.
The other two lasted less than a month. They completely broke. One due to workmanship again and the other due to faulty "vintage" beads that fall apart.
I am so bummed that this place isn't what I hoped, as I love going in and creating jewelry. I really want to love this place, but buyer beware.
- Pros: Great selection.
- Cons: Poor quality and overpriced.

by madabbie
This is the coolest bead store i have ever been too! It's like being inside a giant jewelry box full of shiny beads and pearls.....My mom came to visit me from Texas and we took a fun class - to make our own necklaces. This place is for people who appreciate great service and suggestions. They also have cool silver and gold charms. Its a bit higher in price but the quality is so good i didn't mind....this place is very fun and is consistent.
- Pros: Great Atmosphere, Friendly Service, Quality Goods!!!
- Cons: Parking on 3rd
Overprice... only for people who has never been to anyother beadshops....
by lizleung
this is the most overprice beadshop i have been. the shop is nice looking and there are tons of staff, may be that's the reason why all the beads are so overprice. I can't believe that some of the tiny little beads are sold individually. the beads are not special either, most of them you can get it in king's road or the downtown mart.
- Pros: nice decor, lots of staff
- Cons: too expensive, not much variety
