5 out of 5 starsI was absolutely blown away at the customer service of Stacy and her team at the CreativeFringe. She was extremely communicative about listening to my requests for the order, which included engraving the names of my two sons on the ring as a father’s Day gift for my husband, and the ring arrived in a timely fashion with instructions on how to are for the ring and keep it in tip top form.
What was truly amazing, however, was that when I discovered that the ring size I ordered was several sizes too small for my husband‘s finger, I communicated this to Stacy, was kind, understanding, and willing to enlarge the ring for only an additional $5 (+shipping)! I was so thankful for her willingness to go above and beyond and my husband truly loves his ring!
Thank you Stacy & CreativeFringe Team!!!! You’re amazing! -

5 out of 5 starsI live in Canada and am relieved to have received my order during these crazy times. Nice to see that processing mail across the border is active and well! It took just over three weeks to arrive. I actually thought it might take longer!
I ordered this ring for my son for his birthday and I am sure he will love it. It really is beautiful and unique. Quality craftmanship is evident. The engraving I requested turned out great and TheCreativeFringe was super nice to deal with and very responsive to my inquiries. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone who is looking for a solid piece of distinctive handmade jewellery. -

We offer an extensive selection of beading, lampworking, and jewelry making supplies.
Our thousands of beads run the gamut from semi-precious stones, to freshwater pearls, to wood, bone, glass, crystal, Bali silver, Thai sliver, African trade beads, ancient beads, modern beads, even goods by local beadmakers. You won’t find this kind of variety anywhere else in the region.
We have everything you need to complete your project—leather, suede, and silk cord, findings, chains, threads, wires, sheet metals, metal clay and supplies, and so much more. Hard-to-find tools and supplies! And if you like, we’ll even finish your project for you. You design and string it, we’ll do the rest.
Beyond goods, we provide a home to the local beading community. You’re welcome to work onsite whenever there’s an open bench, join us for BYOB (bring your own beads) happenings, host a children’s or adult’s party, or take a class in anything from basic wirewrapping to metalsmithing to lampworking.
