Great shop, I get into trouble here. A little pricey, but a nice lady and great selection ! Also a great place to find things to fix your broken jewelry.

Very nice and well stocked shop! I stopped in looking for something unique, which they did not have, but she recommended another shop that might — and they did — and I really appreciate that helpfulness. Thank you!

This store is great. They aren’t tooooo large but neither are they small. They have an amazing selection of every kind of bead you can think of … glass … crystal. world beads … antique beads … gems … semi precious stone … lampwork … seed and so on, in a dazzling array of colors. They also have an amazing array of beading findings in all of the metal colors. Plus they have tools, lighting, magnifying and educational materials available. I could go on, but you get the picture.
I found them to be very knowledgeable about their product and they don’t hover. They give you the space to circulate around the well designed floor plan and are very happy to answer any questions you may have about anything and everything about beads, beading, making jewelry and other projects. I know this because others came in the store when I was there and asked questions about things that didn’t necessarily pertain to making jewelry and seemed to be very satisfied with the answers they got.
The store is on a corner and has windows all around so the light in the store is mostly natural and wonderful.
They also have classes available.
Altogether a fabulous store and it is well worth it for me to travel from Cotati to Windsor to peruse and purchase at this great independently owned and operatied establishment.

I’m shocked this bead store isn’t listed at 5 stars. Unilocal has some explaining to do!
Alyx is a incredible local source for help and creative ideas. I’ve been coming up here for years and love her store more each visit.
If your mid project she can help with finding materials.
If you need to get inspired her store always offers beautiful display pieces to help you.
I have always found exactly what I needed at her store and it’s always great to see her and the puppies!
If you make jewelry, come visit you will be inspired and you will find the pieces you need.

As a jeweler I do purchase a large amount of my supplies online (just for cost considerations and bulk pricing) However, I often need something last minute or need to special order something and Alyx is always able to help me. She often suggests substitute components or techniques to ensure that I can complete my pieces on time, and has ordered for me on many occasions. Special orders have always come in on time and with a prompt phone call that they are ready to pick up. I am so glad she has a presence her in Windsor. I only wish she had some kind of loyalty program or other pricing incentives for businesses as I would really rather spend my dollars at a local vendor than an online out of state business.

I love this store! Everything is there including good help. one is never pressed or hurried. the prices are really reasonable and Alyx is REALLY knowledgeable. I want to take the classes there, especially the holiday beaded ornaments for Christmas gifts.

I really like this bead shop. I am always asked if I need any help and then left to wander and plan with out being constantly bothered. Friendly owner always willing to help or advise if I need it. The shop is always open according to the hours posted and even though I stop in often I have never had to wait for any reason. I will go back again and again because they have have a great selection and good prices.
