My experience with the Bead Emporium was absolutely outstanding. The Bead Emporium is a beading and jewelry store located at 45 Army Heritage Dr. Carlisle PA, 17013.
Courtney is the owner of the shop and was wonderful to work with. She has tons of styles and materials including miyuki, swarovski, preciosa, gemstone strands, as well as metal, wood and glass, among much more.
The order I placed was a custom order which consisted of a clasp I picked out in the store, and Brazilian-waxed string I supplied. The order was for 1 red and black custom bracelet. After getting the measurements needed, Courtney got to work on the project.
All of the prices at the Bead Emporium are very agreeable, not just in-store and materials needed to make your own items, but also especially for custom orders. The turnaround time was also within a few weeks, which was very quick considering there were many projects ahead of mine. The project was done not only by the date requested, but was also perfect in every way.
The bracelet turned out beautiful and Courtney even included the extra threading from the initial braiding, which she initially re-did because she wanted it to be as perfect as possible. She even taught me how to properly tie a sliding knot! When I went in to pick up my order, she was actually in the middle of one of her classes that she offers, which is amazing and highly recommended for anyone both experienced, or new and looking to get into the hobby.
Absolutely nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience with Courtney at the Bead Emporium. Welcoming, kind, and easy to work with. Wonderful experience and I'm very happy with everything from the communication, to the customer service, and of course the finished product :) But stop in and see...
