This is a gem (no pun intended!) of a store!  The owner and the associates are friendly, easygoing, and so creative!  Whether you want to fix a broken necklace or want a new accessory to match a specific outfit, this cute little store can help!  Now and again you can attend cool classes to learn the most current techniques and patterns.  I have been a "regular" for a while now, and when I walk in, it's like I am walking into Cheers.  Everyone says hello to me by name.Prices are good and the store environment is cute, welcoming, and creative.

I cannot say enough awesome things about this place.I have slowly been collecting broken jewelry over the past year or so - I have a pretty bad habit of tugging on my necklaces when I go out, annnnnd then, surprisingly enough, somehow they seem to just break! I knew the repairs to my four necklaces were pretty easy, plus these weren't expensive necklaces, so I was dreading going into a jewelry store and paying ridiculous amounts of money to fix a chain.I emailed around to my coworkers, and one suggested the Bead Boutique. Gathering my poor broken necklaces up, I headed over there one lunch break. The store is, perhaps unsurprisingly, filled with beads. There are also tables set up so that you can make your own jewelry, if you so desire. I showed my necklaces to one of the workers, who promptly got out her tools and went to work, assuring me it wouldn't be more than ten minutes.I dutiful wandered around the store - I had zerooooooo idea there were so many kinds of beads. The lady fixed all but one of my necklaces in about 5 minutes, and then took nearly an hour on the last one.I was getting a little irritated and a little tired of beads, and needed to get back to work (just wait, there is a reason for the 5 stars!). Finally, she was done - apologizing for how long it took and carefully polishing the necklace. She then rang me up.$2.92. That's right folks, for one hour of work and four fixed necklaces, I paid less than $3...and that was just for the two sterling silver beads needed to fix one of my pieces. Three of my necklaces were repaired for FREE - and they offered to teach me how! Stunned, I asked if I COULD pay them more (I know) - she turned me down. Apparently there is a $5/hour labor fee, but she said since it was her fault, she wasn't charging me. This fee really only comes into play when they're making jewelry for you.I will never go anywhere else again to fix my jewelry.The Bead Boutique also offers a lot of beading classes, and every Friday has a free class (you just buy the beads). I'm definitely tempted, if for nothing else than because they helped me out so much.
