Stormcloud Trading

I always go to Stormcloud because they have great prices, a large selection of beads and very knowledgeable staff. I was there once for a very important project and Sandi helped me pick out all the correct beads and explained why they would be best for my project. I then left my patterns on the bus stop bench by their store and they went out to look for it and called me back to let me know. I have been going there for years and will continue too!

I come here all the time because I love that they have a lot of unique and beautiful jewelry at fairly reasonable prices. Their rings are literally the only reason I keep coming back.
Why only two stars for a product I love? Their customer service is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. Like a previous reviewer mentioned, the owner/​manager (woman with long white hair) is probably the most atrocious person I have ever encountered in customer service. She is incredibly rude and always apt at making one feel like an idiot. She is angry, surly, and condescending (even to her other co-​workers) to the point where it is uncomfortable. As somebody who has worked an ample amount in customer service, I have no idea why this woman is being allowed behind counters.
So, the bottom line is come for the jewelry, but do not expect a nice or friendly staff.

Good selection of beads and reasonable prices. The lady who works here can be moody and somewhat impatient, so I don’t really feel comfortable shopping here. But I do anyway.

This place is great if for nothing else than the customer service. Beginner or experienced, the staff is very helpful and capable. The prices are some of the best in the city, and the owners have a very impressive business ethic that is good for the local community. There are many many many seed bead choices, and they also have fancier stuff and Native American themed crafting and jewelry supplies. Love love love this place, and it’s been there for a long time!

I was not impressed with their bead selection, a lot of seed beads if that’s what you’re into. It is kind of a hole in the wall place but for their store size I can see they do what they can with the space they have. They are friendly, but I would not come here if you’re looking to browse beads.

They are more pricey than Michaels or Walmart for basic beads, but they have a unique selection and seem to be less costly than Bead Monkey or Bead Gallery.

I’ve come here to shop a few times over the past several years and I like it. They offer a large selection of beads and their prices, in general, seem a bit less overall when compared to the Bead Monkey. And while the Bead Monkey’s environment feels all «shiny & new», Stormcloud Trading feels kind of dusty and worn — but in a good way. One can see things more clearly when the bright lights aren’t blinding you with opulence.
Bonus: parking lot behind the store — I’ve always gotten a parking spot back there.
