We are just beginning Lapidary and wire wrapping, so drove from Pueblo to Silver Sparrow Beads. I cant remember her name, but the store worker was so nice. Patient with all our questions and the store gives a Lapidary seller discount. We came to buy wire, and left with more than just wire!
Me and my best friend had an amazing experience here. The lady that helped us was so sweet and helpful, I believe her name was Kate or Katie. She answered any questions we had about supplies and jewelry making and even helped us make our jewelry! We were so grateful and we will definitely be coming back whenever we’re in Colorado Springs.
This is one of my favorite bead shops, they have the biggest selection of gemstone beads! And they have really neat trinkets and one of a kind adornments for jewelry. The owner and everyone who works there is always so kind and accommodating. And it’s a women owned business, which I do love to support. I’ve found some really rare and unique gemstone beads here and really enjoy the vibe while shopping.
I LOVE this store! The selection is amazing the people who work there are knowledgable and helpful. This store is heaven every time I go there. There’s always some new treasure to find, and I can spend hours getting lost looking at all the pretty things. The prices are decent, but the rewards and discounts make pricing really good.
I appreciate the response from the shop. All I needed was some acknowledgment that the negative energy from the past experience was not ideal.Silver Sparrow has the most beautiful and unique crystal beads I’ve ever found in a shop. I know it’s ran by kind and compassionate women who care about the art and power of using quality beads and healing gemstones in jewelry. I love love love silver sparrow! They have plenty of DIY materials but also sell lots of gorgeous ready made pieces.
Laura (or Lauren, I forget) is absolutely wonderful and honestly the only reason why Im giving this store 3 stars instead of 1 star. She was kind, professional, and informative.Im a business owner. I have been for over a year now. I have my correct licensing to be able to recieve discounts from stores that offer them to people like me. Unfortunately, I didnt have my information on my person; however, Laura said that she believed me and that she had no problem giving me the discount. I was super thankful and was honestly okay with paying full price if it came down to it.Heres where my issue starts:Whoever was working along side her July 26th, was incredibly rude. She made a huge deal about me not having my paperwork. She belittled me and insinuated that I was a liar to her coworker. During my checkout process, I felt embarrassed because she was ranting about me in front of other guests.I feel like that entire discourse should not have been discussed in front of me. She was saying things like people lie and shes not even local. This was right after I was telling Laura my husband and I plan on moving to the area and we were checking out the local shops to meet people. That part of our interaction disappointed and discouraged me the most.Unfortunately, after that, I wont be back. The ONLY reason why Im not giving this store 1 star is because the first woman I was interacting with was super kind and the beads are beautiful.
Great selection of jewelry items, unique clasps, antique beads, and beads from around the world. Fabric from India. Very helpful staff.
A panoply of beads and consignment pieces too. Very helpful suggestions.
Silver Sparrow is a great shop with a wide selection of beads, chain and components. It is women owned and run. I always get smiles and friendly faces, along with great deals and products
Loved this store. The staff was so helpful!
Remarkably helpful staff, beautiful beads and trinkets, and surprisingly low prices. We will definitely be going back!
FUN store!!! The staff is both friendly and helpful with a myriad of beads, crystals, findings, chains and more to suggest for crafts. Will shop here again!
I believe she was the owner, but she was very helpful in helping me with my quest on finding seed beads. But the store had soooooo many wonderful beads for any jewelry making fun. Thank you for your directions to the shop down the street.
I bought 2 beaded braclets and the owner she made a Lions tooth necklace right there on the spot for me. She was so nice and had a huge selection for great prices. I will come back for some beaded necklaces soon. Thank you so much. I recommend to everyone. Salute from an Army Soldier!
Michelle is the Sweetest person. Helpful and knowledgable. I love shopping in her store she has a large variety of beads and findings. Ive gone in a couple times for advise and she helped me both times once actually stringing a double bracelet for me because I was unable and extremely reasonable. Love Silver Sparrow
Cute shop bit did not have what we were looking for
I love all the beads and stones here at this store. Ive been two days in a row to get some things and Michelle helped teach me some cool techniques while I was there for making a few necklaces I wanted. Thank you for your kindness! Its very much appreciated.
The most amazing bead store in the Springs. The selection is fantastic and very unique, and the owner is such a sweetheart. She opened her doors for me in the middle of the covid pandemic so I could stock up on some necessities.
A Must-Stop for any creative person! The best bead store Ive ever shopped! The owner was kind, helpful, and engaging, and the selection was absolutely outstanding!! From Nashville, but if Im in CO. Springs again for even one day I will make coming back to Silver Sparrow a priority!!
Knowledgeable staff and great selection for bead and jem enthusiasts on every level of craftsmanship.
If youre in the area and like beads, dont pass by without stopping in! This place is amazing!! Hands down my favorite bead shop in Colorado. There are a few I like in Denver, but we specifically make the drive down to Colorado Springs to go to this shop when I get the urge to get some new beads! They have a lot of unique tribal looking beads, real gemstone chunky fun beads.. and even though I make my own jewelry, sometimes I find something pre-made there that I just need to buy for myself anyway! They have a rewards program too -which I wish I would have known about and signed up for sooner, so keep that in mind if you go in and dont forget to sign up for that while youre checking out. I keep kicking myself for how many points I could have had had I known sooner!
Literally LOVE this store! Took my little sister out to make matching necklaces and also went to make an anklet. Sooo reasonably priced, fun, and amazing selection!
Nice selection some hard to find stuff
Amazing. quality product for easy and reasonable price. the overall ambiance of the store was very serene, i never wanted to leave.
A huge variety of everything you could need for making your own jewellery and an assortment of jewellery already made for purchase. Michelle, the owner is always so kind and helpful and makes you feel noticed even when shes busy!
Has the coolest findings and great selection of raw stones. Excellent customer service, helped me build and complete a necklace right then and there. Great place!!
Staff was friendly and courteous. Wide variety of items to view/purchase. Wish I had had more time to shop. Highly recommend!
There was a lady.in the store that asked if she could help us and we said not at the moment we were looking so she proceeded to follow my daughter around the store. My daughter is Native American and had bright red hair because she is a barber and hairstylist. My daughter didnt want to cause a scene so we left. She had never stolen a thing ever she likes to make jewelry and wanted to check out your store.
The owner is one of the most sweetest people I have ever known. Helpful and patient. I dont know much about beading so she has help me make custom pieces, including beading my wedding veil.
Great selection of a wide variety of beads, rocks and pre made jewelry. I stop in almost every time Im in town from Denver.
Wonderful place to shop for everything you need to make beautiful jewelry. They have things you cant find at any other retail beading store. Awesome selection. The owner and employees are knowledgeable, helpful and super nice. Love this shop!!!

The owner, Michelle, is the SWEETEST lady in the world! Knowledgeable and patient... Really enjoyed helping her during the 2013 Manitou flood! Cant wait to stop in her shop!
Elaine provided personalized help for my bead shopping needs. She was very knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. Great selection of beads!
The owner is amazing. Super nice and friendly. Absolutely going back!
Excellent customer care. I was shown several possibilities for my project. I felt I was given special attention when I was able to purchase a dozen beads from a string, thus solving my problem of finding beads with large holes. Thank you SO much!! I will be back and will recommend your shop!!
Love, love, love this store! I live in Atlanta and have traveled around the world, and I always come straight back to Silver Sparrow Beads. The owner is amazing and extremely nice. The beads are unique and you can spend hours in this special spot. It is a must see and on my list for favorite stores. If your in Manitou Springs, CO you have to go!P.S. If you cant stop by the store, you can shop online.
Michelle has a huge selection of beads and adornments in her shop. She is a talented designer and a lovely person. This is the best bead shop in town!
This is one of the best places to visit if youre looking for this type of product, they have great items. the front counter person was very nice and knowledgeable about all the products they carry.
First bead shop I go to when I want to start a new project, add to an existing one, and when I need new inspiration. Her selection is excellent, a lot of natural stones and great clasps selection. I always bring visiting girlfriends from out of state to this shop, and they have a great time. The employees are always cheerful and helpful.
Great bead store with a hands on approach. I love the large selection and the info provided with their selections.
Great selection of very unusual beads and gems! The owner Michelle is very helpful and about as sweet as one can be ♥
I always enjoy stopping in this shop when I come to visit family in the area. Customer service is laid back, friendly and helpful. Its fun to see what unique finds I will leave with.
Always brings in new items. If they dont have it. Just ask and they might be able to order it for you.Friendly & knowledgeably staff.
They have a nice selection of quality beads. Far better than some of the local craft stores.
Beads.. Everywhere!A huge selection to choose from, with make-your-own too. Rocks and metals and plastic to shiny, unique beadsShapes and sizes galore.
Love this store great selection wish we had in Texas
Fantastic local shop. All sorts of art and beading supplies.
Unique, quality beads and friendly staff. Can be higher priced than other places for some of the common things, but they also have beads, charms and findings I havent seen elsewhere.
Cashier forgot to give me my beads. I think she was distracted. So had to go all the way back to retrieve them and found out that i was over charged for them on my card and had to go back a 3rd time to get it corrected.
Its packed full of beading materials. A little unorganized to me, but it makes you look around a little more. Im a stickler on stone qualities. I would like to know what grade stones i am purchasing and country of origin.
Stopped during vacation. Wonderful store with many project ideals.
Best bead store in CO!!❤
❤️
Fun stuff!
Nice selection, helpful owner
Wife loves it
Great place
Lots to choose from, but almost overwhelming.
