Shipwreck Beads

type the address into google maps, the address listed is correct, but the map is way off! This shop is fantastic, and hey, they even have a coffee shop in their store!

Their walls are cover to cover beads. When they didn't have exactly what I was looking for, the lady took me into the back, to help me select a better item to purchase from their enormous stockroom. Talk about assistance! Aside from enough beads to go around the world 15 times, they also sell accesories to make bead projects (wire, project books, threads, etc)

I am an avid beader, so when i enteres Shipwreck Beads for the first time, i was overjoyed! For once, a store had literally EVERYTHING i was looking for! A friendly staff member helped me to find just the size and color pearls i wanted, and the various charms (flower pot, garden trowel, rose, glove, and sunshine) that i needed. It is a truly one-stop shop for all your beading needs!

Shipwreck Beads is a great place to find all different types of beads, stringing materials, jewelry-making tools, along with books full of project ideas. They have a huge selection and variety of beads, ranging from Czech and Austrian crystals, to glass and plastic beads, and beads made from natural materials in almost every color imaginable. The pricing is reasonable, especially if you buy in bulk, the showroom is clean and inviting, and the employees are helpful. Getting hungry while you shop? No need to worry. The cafe' in the front corner has a simple, yet tasty, menu, with a place to sit down and enjoy your food and drink.

No matter what your looking for to make jewelry, crafts or art projects, Shipwreck Beads most likely carrys it. I spent well over an hr just browsing and still didn't see everything they had to offer. I am very impressed with their selection of beads, charms and jewelry making material.

PROS: Huge selection, great parking, good prices
CONS: Hard to find

Shipwreck is a nationally known bead supplier that has the largest selection of beads I've ever seen in one place!! You want it, they've most likely got it. Shipwreck sells everything from plastic beads to handmade specimens worth hundreds of dollars. Besides the overwhelming selection of beads, they also offer thousands of findings and dozens of "how to" books. The choices are so numerous that you could easily spend hundreds of dollars per visit. This a true "destination" stop for anyone who likes beads.

PROS: Staff is VERY helpful and well informed.
CONS:

I love this place! I love the incredible selection, you have to see it to believe it! All sorts of beads, findings, books, design ideas etc..They even have a cafe. the place is huge and I mean huge. But, the best part about Shipwreck is the employees! The people who work there love their job and it shows. I always leave with a smile on my face and great beads!
