This place no longer exists as a store. Drove and walked around to see if it was in any of the other vacant buildings and they are no longer at the address listed. Wish I could have gone.

This is the place where I always go to for all kinds of beads & pearls. They have a wide variety of collection and give the best price with great quality. The owner is always very warm, helpful, and kind, which makes it more special.

I am an avid beader and have a growing collection of beads that I must admire and organize on a daily basis. This store has a wonderful collection of beads and I'm happy to have come across this little gem to further add to my collection. I purchase A LOT of beads online and in-person so I'd like to think I have good judgement when it comes to deeming things worthy of their prices and quality but I still have room to learn! I read a lot of reviews before visiting business which is a blessing and a curse because many reviews mentioned the prices of beads being too high which concerned me, regardless of those reviews I took a chance and went in myself. For the size of the store the collection of beads is nice, hanging on either side of the store are strings of semi-precious beads. I usually hover around the left section of the store as those beads are more of what I'm looking for. They do have some sterling silver pendants which are cute, wishing they had more variety but not complaining. They also have a nice variety of jewelry making supplies or "findings" including stainless steel and sterling silver. Their assortment of pearls is WONDERFUL!!! One of the largest collections I've seen so far! So many shapes, sizes and colors!!! Manik, the owner told me they source a lot of their pearls from India & Australia which is GREAT to know as many of the pearls I use are sourced from the Philippines and Texas. From what I've personally noticed is that Texan pearls are very affordable, they're nice but they're not "perfect", more variety of oval shaped than circular shaped and more striations than the conventionally pretty and polished pearls you might find elsewhere. The pearls that Manik supplies are beautiful, smooth and uniform, you can easily inspect the strands for any imperfections! I've found an online supplier of Texan pearls who offerers 15.5" strands for 8mm pearls, where Beads At Beads might charge almost x2 for a 15.5" strand of similarly sized pearls, I CAN justify the price increase because of the availability, the quality, the quantity available and country of origin, etc., there are different factors that contribute to pricing and I always keep that in mind when making a purchase. Okay, I'm done geeking out on pearls, I've found my new go-to place! Thanks, Manik for your thoughtful selection of jewelry making supplies, I will be back! :)

I've been around all the beach stores in the entire Bay area and this is the most expensive I mean ridiculously expensive bead store I've ever been into. $119 a strand? You got to be out of your mind! I wouldn't even buy that at 50% off!

The store has an amazing selection of semi-precious beads and accessories. I just realized however that the retail store charges way more than they do online. I probably paid 2-4 times more for my purchase than I would have if I had purchased it online. I am so bummed. Do yourself a favor and buy online only.

Went in to look for a necklace for my daughter. Picked up a couple of prestrung beads (red coral and Ruby). The gal in the shop was so sweet and helpful, it made for a nice experience! My daughter loves her necklaces!!!
