I had a great time in this store. I was just up in Oakland, visiting some friends and now I’m back home in San Diego and realize that I need more of the alphabet letters with the little rhinestones on top. Can’t find them anywhere else.

I brought my 5 year old to make a bracelet to celebrate her starting kindergarten. She LOVED it there. Just staring at all the cute beads made her happy. The staff was super helpful in walking us through the process of making a bracelet. They were very welcoming and we will definitely go back!

I'm amazed by the kindness, generosity, and professionalism of Blue Door Beads. I brought a very difficult, intricate neckpiece for repair and they served me with such care that fills my heart. I appreciate Blue Door Beads' excellent work fixing this precious item, their patience, and all the extra work that they invested in something that would have been beyond my financial capacity. They care for their customers beyond business and can figure out quite challenging situations. Thank you! It means a lot to me.

What an experience !! This is what the small business is all about. I found an item that i wanted to purchase and was going to pay with my CC. Price was under $2. Store policy is min $7 for CC purchases ... I had no cash whatsoever, lady said "just pay it forward " and gave the item to me for free ... She didn't have to do that .. but she did .... Of course I'm coming back and either buy more stuff or recommend this business to everyone... Maybe someone would say it's just $2 but for me is more of a customer service and kindness of a person thing ... we need more kindness in this life of ours !! Thank you Zeljkak67

Please help support this business! Great selection of beautiful beads and wonderful, helpful workers. Prices are high, which is to be expected for the location. Happy to pay a little extra to support a local craft store.

Blue Door Beads is a beautiful shop with an interesting assortment of beads and jewelry making supplies. They also offer a variety of jewelry making classes. I really enjoyed the class I took. The owner and staff are warm, friendly and knowledgeable. It was one of the most welcoming spaces I've been to and I highly recommend going. They are celebrating their 11th Anniversary and I wish Blue Door Beads many more happy years.

Fun place to have necklaces repaired, restrung, or to look for beads, relax and make your own necklace.

Expensive but not surprised for the location.I got better customer service calling the store after I left than I did in person. Which doesn’t land well with me. Maybe the employee was having a bad day. Or maybe it was something else.Edit: I asked for help finding a specific needle, describing it in detail. I was told “if it’s not on the shelf, we don’t have it.” I then called later, to ask if they had the needle, and finally I was told that it was in stock and where to look for it. I cannot comprehend why my experience of customer service over the phone was so much more helpful than in person.

This shop has a bunch of items for the creative in you to get started on that project you've always been wanting to try. Wires, cords, leather, silk string, bead boards, bead needles, tools, chains, fastenings, hooks, glues, charms, feathers, fringes, tassels, rings, glitter, and of course, beads of all color, shape, and size! There are some pre-made jewelry and accessory items available for purchase as well. Plenty of merchandise to browse through - one could spend some times inside if they don't really know what they're looking for. Tables inside I think you can make something there as I saw one person doing just that, but I'm not really sure. One young lady checked in on us and helped us checkout in the back as the front was taking forever. Not a bad place to pick up supplies, but I'm not well-versed on typical bead store pricing. There was so much to choose from that I was kind of overwhelmed. I gotta go in there with a plan / design in mind.

The jewelry hospital was able to revive my favorite jewelry pieces. They were able to restring a necklace, add a post and jump ring to my favorite earrings. This place is priceless..

I love this jewelry / jewelry-making store. They recently fixed my FAVORITE necklace and you can't even tell it's patched. They polished it, and it looks brand new. I'm SO happy. Every time I come here the service is above and beyond. I get all my jewelry fixed here and have even picked up some nice beads and statement pieces. Would DEFINITELY recommend!

Price of work over 150 dollars more than quoted and estimated with very poor explanation as to why. Disappointed in many ways, finish of work substandard.
