I just took my second jewelry class with Lori. I have learned so much in each class. Lori is a great teacher who makes learning new techniques fun.

Fantastic bead store, worth using my lunch hours to visit as they are only open until 4 most days, and not open on Sundays. Their selection is out of this world: not only do they have a large variety of precious, semi-precious, non-precious stones and non-stone beads, they have findings, wire, & chain as well. They offer classes, discounts on sign-up, and rotating specials monthly. I appreciate their selection of bead sizes & shapes that are hard to find elsewhere. I will definitely be back! They’ve already helped me complete some projects I had pending.

Amazing bead/jewelry craft store. The owner is kind and helpful, taking her time to individually greet customers and assist them with pricing and navigating the store layout. They have a great inventory for both professional jewelry makers as well as those just beginning. Excellent parking and shopping experience. Will definitely stop by again.

What a wonderful and fun store! I came the store this week with youth group. They really provide very nice introductions and selections. The owner is super nice and knowledgeable, and the gemstones are very nice. We enjoyed hopping up here. I think it’s the best beads shop in the Allen, and their prices are reasonable. They also provide birthday party support for kids age 6 and up. I will come back frequently.

I visited ny6designs today as the first jewelry supplies shop on an itinerary of 5 stores. I'm very glad I did, because I had more time to spend there. The store's proprietor was very friendly and approachable. She answered any and all questions I had with a kind smile. The selection of beads is top-notch, with the prices of all products clearly labelled. The bead strands were grouped in an orderly fashion by stone type, and the spiritual properties of each stone were displayed neatly behind each strand display, for those who are interested in the metaphysical aspect of jewelry. The owner, Amy, is not imposing at all, and is more than hospitable. If you want to know what a particular stone is, she can tell you. If you want to know how to use it to make jewelry, she can tell you. If you want to know whether a stone is synthetic or natural, or if it is dyed or naturally-coloured, she can tell you. The store has a few small stones on the floor in the corners, but it's all out of the way. The products are very reasonably priced, and you can pick them up and feel them for yourself before you buy them. The owner is very open and knowledgeable about her wares. The air and surfaces in the store are clean and inviting. The shopping experience is introvert-friendly and I'd say the worst part of the entire experience is leaving. That, and the door chime startled me. Jokes aside, I'd definitely shop here again. The only reason I might end up not doing so is that I'm only visiting Texas, and I will soon be going back to Hawaii.

First time visiter. Beginner beader. Found this place via Google search. This place is AMAZING. Has so many different kinds of beads, stones and gems. Customer service is top notch. The ladies were very patience and helpful with me. They even showed me how to bead, what material to use and more importantly she showed me how to tie the knot and how to hide it. I'm definitely coming back!

Went out looking for a bead shop and I found it. Fantastic assortment of beads to choose from. All kinds of beads, clasps, connectors, anything you need to make jewelry. The staff was super helpful, they definitely went above and beyond with me. Found out they hold classes as well. Plenty of parking. Legit shop with legit employees!

What a great shop. Needed a bracket repaired and they did it while I waited. Very professional and very helpful. Also what a selection of beads and everything you need to make necklace, bracelets etc. Even classes if you want to learn how to do it yourself. Highly recommend you check it out.

My daughter, wife, and myself just decided to go beads-hunting today. I took the summer off from teaching because I just passed all my PhD requirements (except the dissertation). I figured I could spend time with my daughter. We went to this bead shop in Allen and were surprised with great array of choices of beads. They are very reasonably priced, the beads are obviously of better quality than the ones you buy at craft shops/stores at the same price range. But the biggest reason why I LOVE this bead shop now is how they were patient with my daughter the entire time that my wife and I were shopping. The owner and Shali were very accommodating and very warm—they taught us how to string beads properly, the right materials to use for the particular beads we purchased, and they gave a compelling discount to my wife, who just bought A-grade sapphire and emerald jewelry. We will definitely keep coming back there. They earned our loyal patronage. The shop was very organized, the goods well-curated, and again, the people were awesome! Nina (I think was the name of the owner) and my daughter had such a fun time. ? Great place, great people, great prices.
