About Us!

"We are SO much more than a little bead store."

The Bead Shop is a full service bead store specializing in our charm bar experience, custom jewelry and repairs. We are a locally owned, locally loved bead store with an ahhh-mazing inventory of beads and beading supplies. Come see! We carry a huge selection of beads and have been rated one of the top 10 bead stores in the country for years!

We sell gemstone beads, pearls, wood, bone, ceramic, glass, crystals, African and ethnic beads, pewter, Sterling, 14k gold-filled, seed beads and more.

We specialize in jewelry repair, custom orders, wedding jewelry designs and custom movie production work. We have a wonderful portable bead shop, and a charm bar, both ready to travel to your event, party, sorority, convention and more! Reach out for details.

Whether you have a necklace that simply needs a new clasp, or your special pearls need to be re-knotted, we can take care of it (sometimes while you wait)!

We do custom work daily, and specialize in making a piece JUST for you. Bring in your evening dress, reunion outfit, a favorite new top, or a Mardi Gras ball dress, we can create the perfect jewelry for you. We also specialize in creating custom wedding jewelry for brides and bridesmads. 

Making your own jewelry is easier than you think. We have a stringing room for you to make your own jewelry anytime. If you’re a beginner just let us know and we will walk you through the easy process to making your own earrings, necklaces or bracelets. Just book a jewelry making appointment! 

We have a huge variety of group classes available, as well as private classes if you prefer a one on one experience. See our upcoming events and classes or book a jewelry making appointment!
