My knotted pearl bracelet broke a while back and Beads, Crystals & More was recommended by another business I thought would do the repair but they no longer do that type of work. So I popped in with the pearl bracelet and another beaded bracelet I hoped they could shorten with the expectation of leaving them both for repair. While the pearl bracelet will take a couple of weeks to finish, Savannah immediately started working diligently on the challenge of shortening the beaded bracelet while I waited. She carefully took the clasp off and investigated a solution. She spent some time trying different ideas until we decided on her original suggestion to change the clasp and add a charm for some weight to better hold the bracelet in place as there really wasn't a way to shorten it without taking it totally apart.

But Beads, Crystals & More is quintessential Encinitas - right up there with Swami's Beach and The Meditation Garden at the Self Realization Temple. When in town you've got to stop in. The variety will be overwhelming, but whether you're in the market for a rare find , a simple trinket or power stone you will not be disappointed. I had a random encounter with Phil, one of the owners who elevated my faith in humanity. It's worth saving a little time to rest a bit in your travels, look around and have a chat and listen to...
