Mountain Beadworks is a wonderful little hidden gem of a bead and jewelry shop located in the downtown area of Julian. This peaceful shop offers an amazing and extensive selection of beautiful beads, including crystals, gemstones, rock beads of all colors, glass beads, shaped beads, and jewelry findings. Customers can choose from a wide array of pre-arranged beads or create a custom necklace or bracelet, with the option to have it assembled right there for a small, reasonable fee or to DIY at home. The result is a very special, personalized gift.
The kind and passionate staff, including the owner, are warm, friendly, funny, and helpful, offering many helpful suggestions and answering questions. They provide a lovely experience, making the process easy and enjoyable. The shop also features a nice selection of ready-to-wear hand-crafted necklaces and jewelry-making tools. Adding to the welcoming atmosphere are the owner's super sweet, peaceful, mellow, and friendly dogs. With its extensive selections, fair prices, and excellent service, Mountain Beadworks is a must-visit and a place customers love and plan to return to.
A wonderful little shop. Enjoyed individual and strung bead options. Of course, the owner Dale was a pleasure but no comparison in friendliness to the lovely dogs 😉 Thanks for my new treasures. I appreciate your labor of love in keeping this shop open.

What a delightful store and owner. Patty was amazing, and so welcoming and fun to talk to about the craft. Nice selection, sweet doggy that greeted me, and full of information. She turned me on to a new closing clasp. I could have stayed there all day.
