echo artworks — Local services in Bremerton

I came in here recently and didn't have the best experience whatsoever. The store owner just looked annoyed with me right away, like she didn't want me there. I decided to patron the store anyway because I needed some supplies. Much of the materials are tarnished, old and scratched up Czech glass beads. I was bummed out to see all the damage and tarnishing on these pieces. I make jewelry and only want to give my customers the best quality. So I thought I'd just make something for myself. Its my fault that I read the price tag wrong but dang, are you really going to charge almost $20 for four beads that have visible scratches on their finish thereby ruining the quality of the pieces? Embarrassingly I had to put the item back. But when asked about classes she just pointed at a schedule in front of me. No warmth. I want to support local business but not when its made obvious I'm just not wanted there, and with overcharged damage product its a hard sell for me.

Echo Artworks is an amazing shoppe! They have a huge assortment of vintage beads and findings as well as handmade lamp work beads, pearls, semiprecious stone strands, metal beads and charms, enameled beads and unique items you won’t find anywhere else. They have a wide variety of classes and can help you make anything you need, and also can create custom pieces for you. We’ve been shopping there for years, and the selection just keeps getting better and better. The owner is wonderful, knowledgeable and helpful. She is quite a jewelry artist as well. And, you never know what other treasures may be in the shop - a few vintage clothing pieces, beautiful rock specimens, vintage Swarovski rhinestones in fabulous colors. This shoppe is a feast for the eyes and the soul, with a sweet shoppe dog, a wonderful Boho vibe, and a kind welcome to all who come through the door. I’d give it ten stars if I could. It’s definitely worth the trip if you’re anywhere near the Kitsap Peninsula. Highly, highly recommend...

This place is a hidden gem! At least if you love vintage jewelry and sweet vibes. I was so impressed with the selection and quality of the pieces for sale, and had a great time chatting with the owners. Had no idea that they make the jewelry themselves and host classes - amazing! They hooked my husband up with just the piece he was looking for, while I soaked in the baubles and shiny objects - I will be back to spend recklessly, no...
