I cannot express in words how much my wife and I love this place the one on one appointments make the experience so much more personal! The prices are fantastic for the quality of the jewelry you’ll be making. We paid $16 for two pairs of earrings and a star choker as seen in the picture but we tipped the owner $4 as we just couldn’t believe the quality of the jewelry.
I went here as a child and remember being in awe of the crystals, rocks, beads, pendants and trinkets.I finally went back as a 30 something adult, and got lost in the beautiful array just as Id done as a child. We talked soulfully and theyd told us of their travels, riding elephants and of foreign places they had experienced first hand.We bought a crystal Id planned to buy, like the one Id treasured for years as a kid, and several other cool things, we plan to come back next month, hopefully sooner!Thank you for the whimsical experience, yall are amazing and Id listen to stories about your incredible adventures for hours!♡♡♡♡♡♡
My son, Denver took me to this shop last month (June 2021) when we were visiting. Amazing shop and really beautiful and unusual beads. The owner made me a couple of necklaces while I waited. Super nice owners and love my necklaces. Cant wait to go back the next time I visit! Melissa Carneiro
Great beads and to me the fact that Joey and Phil can tell you the little stories about the particular artisan that made those beads, make the experience more memorable. The owners are the best people.
Thus is the neatest little shop in Athens. And the owners Phil & Joey are the best part.
Such a beautiful store with the most wonderful atmosphere. They are so welcoming. He made my brother and I adjustable cord necklace with charms we picked out, and let me watch so I could make my own at home.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! I could spend hours here and never get bored. I love the people too! Absolutely beautiful, astonishing array of beads and jewelry making supplies. And wonderful, breath-taking gemstones, both polished and natural raw.
First Ive been to this store, and it is awesome! The owners are wonderful, and theres a great selection of beads from all over the world. You can even build your jewelry in the shop with or without help from the owners, or have beads braided into your hair. There is also a variety of miscellaneous items to purchase, rocks, kites, bags, jewelry, sun catchers, etc. Theres so much to see in this cute little shop!
The owners are kind and lovely people. Very relaxing atmosphere. I visited and made a nice bracelet. Its truly a gem in Athens.
I found this place on google looking for things to do in Athens since that’s where my girlfriend Maddy and I were meeting up, and I have to 110 percent recommend going here! There’s sooooo so much to look at. You can walk around 100 times and still not see everything, the owners, Phil and Joey have to offer. Phil was very insightful, welcoming, and most helpful! He helped Maddy and I find and put together personal necklaces. He put the clasps on, did measurements, and everything! Maddy got a brain necklace and I got a cross necklace. I also got me a couple coins, one from China and one from Pakistan, and a piece of obsidian. If you’re looking for a place for a cute date or a place to find or put together a nice gift, I would definitely come here! Just remember that they’re by appointment only right now because of covid, but they give you two hours or more in special cases. They just don’t have the option to list that on google. Thanks Phil!!!
I stopped in today with my roommate from OU - ( 27 yrs ago) and her sister and BF achildren n, all OU grads.... we love this lplace and just stopped by because we couldnt resist. Had THE best conversation with Phil and another patron. Only thing better than the conversation was the BEAD selection
Hard to find front of house overgrown in plants
I love this little shop, it has some very unique and different items compared to other places. Plus you can sit and work on your projects which I find cool. Plus they are very helpful.
Beautiful beads from all over the world. Friendly and knowledgeable people working there. No matter how much money you have, you never seem to have enough because you so many awesome things there...
So many cool beads. So many cool ideas. Can’t wait to come back.
A wonderful little bead shop in a house. The owners travel all over the world bringing back interesting beads. Lots of findings and some tumbled stones and larger rock specimens too.
This posting is from Rhonda Reedy.I have been shopping at beads and things for years. It is nice they tell you where the beads come from they are very intelligent about teaching of bead work. They travel all over to buy bead for their store. The atmosphere is quiet, with a little laughter from now and then. They also have findings, trays, metal and leather strings the list goes on. The prices are reasonable,the quality is top notch. I would recommend this store. Sincerely, Rhonda Reedy.
My wife has been buying from them for years. Wonderful little shop packed with shelves of beads (and things), but not too crowded. Worth checking out if you are into making jewlery on any level.
I love this place if you like rocks beads culture etc its smaller but holds beauty unmatched bye many.
Joey and Phil are two of the friendliest people I know. My daughter loves this place.
I cant stress the and things enough, this place is amazing.
