Ornamental Beads — Local services in Arvada

If you like a large variety of beads, findings and beading, you have to visit this place! The owners are extremely helpful and will even restring your beads if you don’t want to buy and string your own.

I had some expensive turquoise beads I purchased online and Robin designed the perfect necklace, earrings and bracelet out of them for my granddaughter’s graduation from medical school. My granddaughter is absolutely thrilled with the set. My granddaughter and I worked with Robin over messenger to refine the design. The photo is just part of the necklace design in process.

I have since brought in a very nice string of real pearls that have been broken in my jewelry box and unworn for about 4 years. Sadly, I have loved and worn these pearls for more than 30 years and just never got around to figuring out how to restring once they were broken. They have tiny knots between each of the pearls. Ornamental Beads is doing this as well!

I originally went on Amazon to get beads because I wanted to make a necklace for myself.

Once all the beads arrived, I decided to come to Ornamental Beads for some necklace centerpieces because the ones on Amazon sucked.

In the end, I wish I had come here instead of searching on Amazon for beads!

They have an amazing selection of beads to choose from, a wide array of centerpieces and charms and tools for beading, and most crucially for me, kindness and knowledge to share!

Where Amazon recommended me ineffective string for my project, the owner helped me learn the basics of crimping so that I could secure my necklaces and stop them from falling apart!!!

If I hadn't come here, I would still be stuck trying to tie string necklaces that would've fallen apart within a day due to the string's stretch factor, and my ineffective securing method.

Thanks to Matt, I was able to make a necklace for myself and my partners that I'm proud to have made :)

Thank you so so much Matt! You have made my day,...

I've been learning to make jewelry for almost a year now. I've been trying to decide whether to cross the threshold from hobbyist to a serious jewelry design business. I had never been in this store before as I live on east coast and was only familiar with the big box cookie cutter stores. This was a wonderful experience to find so many unique things and to get instruction on how to use components I was completely unfamiliar with. I was in the store with a friend/assistant for four hours designing pieces in my head before I made any commitment to spend even $1 and they were so helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. This was one of the very best shopping experiences I've ever had I look forward to continue doing business with them...
