Owners are friendly and very helpful, took my wife to find some things for her jewelry making hobby. She found everything and more for what she needed ! Little something for everyone in gems and rocks !

This is by far my favorite place to get crystals/jewelry supplies. I’ve been here multiple times and the staff is always so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend and will be returning!

Absolutely amazing store. Always very clean and quiet. They have a wide variety of jewelry making supplies, however I mainly shop there for the crystals and stones that they sell. Their prices are very affordable and definitely the most affordable Ive found for beads and crystals as compared to chain craft stores and metaphysical/spirituality shops. The staff is extremely friendly and always willing to help out and ask questions, or simply just let you browse and shop if you prefer a quieter shopping experience. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for jewelry supplies or crystals

I love this place! More than Michaels or Hobbby Lobby, this is a must stop shop for anyone who loves jewelry and beads and stones. It has everything from the clasps to the actual beads you are looking for. And the lighting is beautiful too. I love just wondering around. Plus its a local shop so its a great way to support the local economy!

So many beautiful options to choose from. Lots of gemstone strands, and crystals with fair prices. I will definitely be back next year on my travels down to florida.

Great assortment of beads for crafters. Prices are moderate. Many gemstones are piled up on counters, so its like a treasure hunt. This can be fun, unless you want a specific strand of beads and dont have the time to dig through piles of beads.

Review №24

I enjoyed looking at all the beads but there were very little seed beads. Some of the beads were out of stock of the prettiest colors. That is very frustrating. Hardly any sterling silver to speak of. High prices on cheap crystal from China.

Review №32

Horrible experience! Took an extremely sentimental valuable piece in to be worked on on Wednesday, told the person would be in on Monday or Tuesday that could drill one small little hole in this coin. Tuesday rolled around and I heard nothing, then Wednesday, then Thursday. I called on Thursday only to be told she left for out of town on Wednesday and would be gone another week. I was told the place was a mess and told there was a jeweler down the street that could do what I needed. WOW! I messaged the company, not wanting to put a bad review online, it took DAYS to get a message back and that message was in no way apologetic and in no way did they offer to rectify the situation just told me most all their staff was out of town that week. I was left feeling like I really didnt matter. I had sent a lot of people to this business before I ever tried to use them...now i will make sure people know how I was treated. It only takes a moment to be kind and understanding, I even gave a chance of redemption by messaging and not giving a bad review somewhere.
