Beadweaver — Local services in Santa Fe

Loved this store. The 2 salespeople were very friendly and helpful. There was a strong rainstorm and had to bring in all the outside merchandise- they remained cheerful and attentive to me.

Lots of great beads but I really enjoyed the huge selection of closures/clasps/earring hooks. They have lots of stunning premade jewelry if you don’t want to make your own.

When I was chatting with the salesperson, she told me she made a multi strand turquoise necklace for a customer that was a super tiny bead- priced at $200. Very reasonable and special since it’s bespoke.

I walked away with a few stands of beads, baroque pearls and turquoise drops and some findings. The salesperson was even willing to hold some beads for me till the next day so I could sleep on my design before purchasing. Looking forward to my next visit!

I wasn’t able to visit Glorianna’s beads so I can’t compare...

Nice, friendly and quaint. They have a good selections of beads, stones, crystals, and related items like beaded jewelry, bead containers, jewelry wire and clamps, spools of chains and carved specialty stones. There is this beaded panther, made from someplace way down south (I forgot where in Mexico she said) it's like $1400.00 and beautiful. With mat black beads and colorful beads to make traditional designs. Or these stone turtles that are red (ish) in color with swirls, they are $400 and up. But I get smaller carved stones for like necklace pendants and different charms and beads...

I'm not crafty but Beadweaver sure is. Lavania made me some gorgeous earrings, and her mystical paintings really add style to the ambiance there. Another lovely employee helped me pick just the right aesthetic accoutrement for a pendant. These ladies rock and they have infallible taste, not to mention excellent customer service skills. And they're spicy, too; I told them they were problem solvers and the reply was, "..and troublemakers!" The Divine Feminine is alive and well...
