I get most of my materials from this place to make my Dreamcatchers... It has every stone bead you could imagine to buy, always the best customer service. And you can never just buy one item.. This place is a must to come to.

Such a lovely selection. Shop owner helped me put a chain necklace and latch on a pendant i bought and was super patient with me since i had no experience with custom jewelry!! This would be a great date spot to take someone and you each make your own necklace (or you make one for each other). Thank you again!!

The ladies that have helped me at Abacus Beads on several occasions have been so kind and generous in swapping out different clasps for necklaces I have brought in so that they are easier to use! Only charge for the supplies which is just a few dollars! Love this shop!!

Absolutely the nicest bead shop we've visited. Lots of sterling silver findings (which are usually hard to find). Owner is very pleasant and extremely helpful. Beads et al are displayed in glass containers, jars, etc. - different than the usual box upon box of beads, but very attractive (my picture does not do the displays justice - you'll just have to visit).
