Big Bead Boutique

Bought my friend some pearls for her birthday from here which fortunately turned out to be exactly what she wanted. When looking round the shop I came up with many different birthday ideas for friends and family so will be returning soon with I imagine quite a long list. Fantastic place!!!

Tucked away yet just around the corner from the clocktower you will find this amazing bead shop. Friendly atmosphere for browsing or helpful assistance for all your jewellery needs. A unique shop that compliments Brighton’s individuality!

I loved this shop and Jo too. I had my daughter’s 10^th birthday party there, her and her 4 friends were made so welcome, and were all treated like ‘princesses’.
They had the best time making two different bracelets and a necklace each, there were sweeties and drinks laid on for them, the feather boas were fab and the party bags were really super too with my birthday girl getting an extra special treat or two.
Whilst they made theirs I got the bug and wanted to make my own bracelet too, I was completely spoilt for choice with the thousands of different beautiful beads to choose from, with a bit of help from Jo and her helper I got there in the end and my bracelet was made!
One happy Mum and 5 very smiley girls left the lovely Jo (with hugs and kisses) and her wonderful shop, each vowing to return again soon to visit and shop some more.
If you are going to Brighton, you must go and see the Big Bead Boutique, it’s slightly tucked away but is only a minute from the main shopping mall so do go and make the effort, I can’t speak highly enough and am tellling all my friends about it too!

Eye candy gallore, the place to go in brighton if you’re into the full shopping experience. everything is top notch, from the lovely boutique itself, to even lovelier Jo and the amazing range of bling, colour, shapes and material she sells. Love every minute I spend in there and I recommend it to anyone (and more than once draging them in the door) that’ll give me a chance.

It’s a brilliant shop… the ways its decorated is really inspiring and there are hand made examples of what you can do with all the stuff dotted around. Really unusual beads you can’t find at some of the other bead stores, and the owner is really friendly and helpful. Really reasonably priced and I love the little cake cases you get given to store your collection in as you go round!

I love Big Bead Boutique! It’s an experience — when you walk through the door it’s like stepping back in time: the music, the shop layout, the beads and jewellery; a kind of 40s/​50s feel. It’s gorgeous. Just beautiful. Jo, the owner, always gives a friendly welcome.

Fantastic shop all vintage style. Beautiful wedding jewelry and fabulous selection of beads. Every taste catered for. Had a great time at a workshop with my 10 year old granddaughter who thoroughly enjoyed herself and has caught the jewelry making bug. We always have to «pop» in to see Jo (who is lovely). Will (and do) recommend the shop to anyone who will listen (even passers by)!!! All the best. Burnice xxxxx
