Pacific Beads is a gem of a rock, crystal, and bead shop in San Diego. It is a wonderful small business with the largest selection in the city, carrying everything from beads and beading supplies to rare rocks, crystals, minerals, geodes, and handmade jewelry. The selection and variety is lovely, with many stones to choose from, including Moldavite, fluorite, and amethyst. The quality is high with super affordable, accessible, and unbeatable prices, even offering museum quality wholesale pricing. The environment is good and the staff is exceptionally friendly, kind, helpful, and humorous. They treat customers like best friends, making everyone feel welcome. They are happy to help find the perfect product, whether for a first-time buyer or an avid collector. The owner is the best, always greeting customers. The shop provides a wonderful experience with extra discounts for first-time customers, generous freebies, and even snacks and pastries while you browse. It is a cool shop where kids are in awe and many clients have been shopping for years or over a decade.
I just absolutely love it here. The prices are unbeatable and they have such a huge selection. I could spend hours in there looking at everything. Also, the owner is very kind and willing to share his knowledge. The only thing I wish is that I lived closer!!
