The beads there are so amazing. I love being able to make my own bead mixes and to be able to pick from such a wide variety of seed beads. I end up going here like once or twice a month, i highly recommend! Everything is very high quality which is nice, but it does mean it's a bit more expensive, but not too bad considering the quality

This is such a great bead store. They really have a stellar inventory and the owner Heather is awesome, as is her helper Kelly. Not only have I visited while staying in Chico, but I also took Heather’s beginning copper enameling class. I made 3 pieces… a matched pair for earrings and a pendant. It was so much fun and Heather was a great teacher - really knew her stuff and lots of great info as well as patient and personable. I would highly recommend visiting this great shop AND taking a class. You won’t be disappointed!

We came with a weird request and the owner didn't even bat an eye! She just said, if that's what you want we can help, and walked us through different options. I guess I always thought a place like this was good for bracelets and things like that, but now my eyes are open to how much this place can help make already nice house decor into more customized and personalized pieces. Super helpful and knowledgeable.

I cannot recommend String Bead enough! I just held my daughter's 9th birthday party here hoping to create a memorable experience during our current social distancing crisis. I'm so relieved to say that this was an incredible success! Not only did the staff insist on all WHO requirements (wearing masks, requiring hand sanitizer) to even allow admittance, but once in they were absolutely fantastic with the children. The owner was there, and she was able to clearly communicate / translate the whole jewelry making process on level easily understood by my daughter and her friends. The staff was engaged and informative during the entire party, and they made the whole experience both educational and an adventure for the kids. Obviously my daughter couldn't invite very many friends, but she made a point to make jewelry for all of them during her own party! She can't wait to go back and relive this experience. Anyone with daughters experiencing "cabin fever" right now should seriously consider this place!

Helpful people running a business as safely as possible. Next time you want to buy a necklace, earrings or bracelet, see these folks first. If you need a necklace restrung or earrings repaired see them. If you are into making your own gifts see them. Very helpful.

During COVID-19, I called String Bead in hopes of finishing a birthday necklace on time. The owner kindly did all of my shopping (apparently I am out of control even over the phone when it comes to beads) and took payment over the phone, offered to set up a phone appointment to send me photos, asked customers to all sanitize upon entry (we were on the phone for a bit so I got to hear the activities), all customers happily complied, and then she met me curbside with my stuff. She had on a mask (properly) as did all customers leaving the shop. And she threw in some extra beads for me because she couldn't decide which ones I'd love best. String Bead for the win! ❤️ Sidenote: this business was great before COVID-19 as well, always a great experience and amazing selection.
