There is no store at location provided. Apparently, they are now selling from the basement "by appointments only". This is completely understandable, considering latest unfortunate events. But the big issue is that the Google information and even the phone message are not updated. Google search has lucrative pictures and the phone message provides non-existing "new store hours". I have relied on that information and drove there just to find myself in front of the residential place. Phone message doesn't mention "by appointments only" "small " detail which I finally found by going on the website and reading a small print after my phone messages were not returned.

This place is awesome! It is the best hidden secret of a bead store in Chicago for gems and other beads. Truly gorgeous products (all kinds of real gemstones that I wanted to buy them all) and Anna and Diana are lovely people who are so helpful and kind. Glad to support this woman owned business. Love love love their new space and look forward to going back! This special shop should not be missed!

This is truly the best bead store in the area and a little gem of a place. Selection is enormous, prices are better than other places. Owned by the nicest women ever. Will continue to patron them as long as they continue to sell beads.

This is a great place to buy beads and other supplies for making jewelry. Good selection and good quality items. They also have great classes. I've learned a lot of new techniques for making jewelry from them.

I had earrings made and several earring wires changed to lever back. Excellent work and customer service. Spent time selecting beads for the earrings to go with an existing necklace.

Amazingly the best bead shop in Chicago. Anna is equally amazing with her help on all things stones and jewelry making. Fantastic experience looking for beads and talking to her. Great sale with half off strands of beads and good other sale on other beads. Beautiful stones. Such a lovely variety of things and great owner. Would visit again in a heartbeat.

I'm always doing crafts and love beads. I'm not a jewelry maker or anything and don't know what's a good price for what but they have such an amazing selection from cheap stuff to really high end pieces. They always seem to be having a sale too. I hope they stay around for years to come, the lady who works there is very helpful and nice too!

I recommend AVP because of the competitive pricing on their beads and components and their expertise. They gladly answer any and all questions.
