From Bay Area Bead Shops to Your Creative Journey
Our story began in 2006 with a simple dream: to bring the finest jewelry-making supplies to passionate creators like you. Starting with three beloved bead shops across the San Francisco Bay Area - Fremont, Mountain View, and San Jose - we've been part of countless jewelry-making journeys for over 18 years.
OUR BAY AREA ROOTS RUN DEEP
For nearly two decades, we welcomed crafters, artists, and dreamers into our physical stores. We watched beginners discover their passion, helped professionals find that perfect component, and celebrated when customers returned with photos of their finished masterpieces. Those face-to-face connections taught us something invaluable: great jewelry isn't just about materials - it's about the relationship between maker and supplier.
NOW CALLING AUBURN HOME
Today, we've evolved into a dedicated online business, nestled in the beautiful city of Auburn, California - just a stone's throw from our state's capital. While our doors may have gone digital, our commitment to personal service has only grown stronger.
WHY CHOOSE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD BEAD FRIEND?
