parking is bad

If you can find a spot to park then it's great. This store has a bohemian feel to it. They have some good selections of beads but not so many crystals. They are a little off the beaten path.

If you're into beading, and you see that store sign with "beads" in the title, you immediately park the car and rejoice that you've found another bead shop to explore. There is a great selection to choose from and what bead enthusiast wouldn't like to spend time perusing all the colors and types and imagining what they can make? Nearby stores in the Hawthorne district make this and other shops a great weekend shopping experience.

Beads Forever has a multitude of different kinds of beads and a lot of different colors to choose from. They have different styles and all the supplies you will need to get started or to stock your supply. We have a great time here when we go picking out new stuff.

I really like this store because of their inventory of beads and for their customer service both were great. I thought that the prices were good kind of high but worth it.

Although there is a large selection of many kinds of beads, it seems clear to me that this store is geared towards the "dabbler" or "tourist" rather than serious jewelry maker. It is very expensive, and to make any thing of real quality--real gemstones, real silver, one could have to sell it for hundreds to be worth it. Nevertheless, it is on Hawthorne, what can you expect.

Gotta check this place out! It is simply amazing!
You can find everything you need for all you beaded jewlery needs! If you have a hard time, like I do, finding unique beads, this is the place for you!
Their prices can be high. But since there are so few shops they great around you will find it nice deal even for a higher price.
They always seem to be getting new items in so I try to check in once or twice a month.
