Initially I was a little worried about the store hours since the store had not opened yet. However I did wait a couple of minutes and I thought it was worth the wait! The owner is extremely kind, sweet, and knowledgeable. The store is fully stocked with a variety of beads and other products. I am so glad I was able to purchase from this store, I will definitely be visiting this store more often!

Lovely & Local
This shop has been here for over 20 Years! As a crafter, sometimes you just want to be able to Touch and Feel beads & supplies with your own hands. And this little shop has an eclectic and complete selection of anything you might need to create anything you can dream up.
Big Amazonian websites simply cannot offer you this tactile experience, and big box stores do not provide the kind of personal touch & customer service that this sweet little shop gives you.
This was my first time here, and after meeting Gloria, the shop owner, it will definitely not be my last. So excited to return and take her jewelry beading classes!
Came in looking for crimp beads and I left with so much more. Knowledge & Skills! Gloria is kind and generous, took the time to show me the best technique to crimp my beads, HANDS-On.
So glad I decided to search for a local beading supplier, and GRATEFUL I found this sweet shop, so close by, without having to drive all the way to Oakland or Berkeley.
Also, Gloria’s prices are more than fair, very competitive even better than those big, impersonal websites.
I really believe that when we choose to support Local Business, it’s not just about investing & keeping our money & resources in the local economy, we are also Protecting and Preserving our local history, unique character and culture of the Bay Area.

Gloria, the owner was so helpful and a joy!
She had a beading class going and took time to help me get string materials I needed. Finished a gray pearl necklace that night with string I bought.

We came in looking for some beads for a birthday project. This was my wifes first project, and the owner took time away from her work to walk us through all the materials we would need to succeed in the project. Lots of awesome supplies and we appreciate the owner going above and beyond

Cute little beads store. Owner is very nice. It's a fun experience if you like to explore and do a little treasure hunting. Have a variety of glass, stones and some semi precious stones.

I was in the area and came across Glorious Beads, tucked away on the main street of CV Boulevard. As an amateur beader, I've been (of course!) on the hunt for some beading arsenal. Walking into Glorious Beads, I'm overwhelmed...in a good way! I knew what I wanted in terms of the color scheme, but didn't know which sizes to use. I didn't know where to begin, but Gloria (the owner) and a few other ladies there beading guided me to the very first beads I'd use to create my first-ever beaded earrings! Glorious Beads is an absolute gem and Gloria was so welcoming and warm - I highly recommend this store to anyone, especially those that are amateurs like myself. So much variety and styles of beads, along with support from staff to help you with the selection process for your beaded masterpiece!

Cute and well stocked bead store! They have seed beads of several sizes and tons of colors. In addition, they have a large selection of different types of beads, including chunky glass beads, pearls, and various stones. I would say everything you need to do most beading projects can be purchased here!There are three shop dogs, and they're all friendly!The price is very competitive, especially for the quality!

I have been visiting there for 12 years! I can't believe it's been that long. She does repairs and has a wide selection of many different types of things. She also has many classes. Call to schedule by appointment and bring a friend. Friendly atmosphere, good music, and 3 dogs.
