What a great store. I go with my friends. I take my girls. I go by myself. The selection is great and always changing. There are new things every time I go. I can't beat the prices even on-line especially after adding shipping. What super helpful people. I just scheduled my daughter's birthday party there.

Misleading
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/22/06
I signed up and took a class to make a necklace. The class fee was 25.00 then it cost another 30.00 for the beads. The necklace we made in class was NOT the necklace displayed for the class, it was not even close. I felt cheated. The instructor was not very helpful and seemed to lack knowledge, I guess that's why they displayed a necklace ...

Nor for Me!

This owner has an excuse for everything and simply is NOT credible. I won't go back, as I find her very disagreeable! Her own designs are just OK - not anything creative or innovative.

Got Beads? , They Don't !
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/07/06
The building was quaint and old, but not really downtown like they claimed. Many spots in the shop had horrible lighting. The check-out area & in front of the windows had better lighting. I couldn't really check out the quality of the beads. Not a real good selection of bead strands. Most of the beads were over priced for the quality. They have a fairly good selection of costume jewelry that you find at large flea markets up north.

Fabulous Choices

What a great place. I was looking for unique centerpieces and needed a quick repair of a broken clasp. I got both. They were so nice. I left with my necklace intact and beads to make more and a ring with bling to boot. When in Aiken I'll make it a sure stop not just for the beads but for the fashion jewelry to.

Dreadful is the only description I can think of. Not a pleasant place. Enjoy Aiken don't put yourself in this situation. Excuses for everything. I will not go again.

Great choices, great prices, great people! The most beautiful centerpieces I've found anywhere with the best prices. I went three times on my visit to Aiken. I'll make the trip now just to go there. And yes I bought one of those CZ rings they carry. Oh what sparkle. How fun. I'm going to get my friends to make the trip for one of their parties. Now that will be fun. It's the real deal!

I've spent many hours at this shop and can't understand how anyone could say anything negative about the service, selection. or support it offers to beaders of all levels. Who's writing that stuff? Come and see for yourself what a delightful destination this is!
They have beads in all price ranges, fabulous artist's pieces. ...
