Nomad Bead Merchants

"Everything here comes in tumbled, strands, made, with holes on them and ready to be wire wrapped, macramed, or sold for a little bag of sunshine for someone!!!!... And perhaps the most the valuable that made me cry off about that I've collected from here were the Corals.... I tried to make them look bright red in the stove on sugar and lemon, they started to grew some cankers on them : ( And doesn't this Yellow Fluorite look juicy though????.... It would glow white in blue LED light."

"There is something truly special about a great bead store. A mix of gorgeous merchandise, helpful staff and a love of beads. Nomad's got all of this in spades. I’ve visited bead stores all over the world, and this one is a can’t miss. Whether you are looking from something special or do crafts with your kids – this place has it. And don’t forget to shop local!"

"I have been visiting Nomad for at least two years now to make my own jewelry and get supplies. The staff and owners are always welcoming and happy to help you with any questions. The bead/supplies selection is unreal! You can make pretty much anything you can think of and you can tell the staff are passionate about the business. Jake was incredibly patient and helped my mom and aunt construct some bracelets and earrings and told them the names and history of some of the beads they picked out. He is so very generous and kind!! I also had a wonderful conversation with Beth about her family and life. Nomad is my go to place to take friends and family. Something about it makes you feel so happy and full of love. I cannot recommend Nomad Bead Merchants enough!"

"What a disappointment is the least I can say!! I needed to restring a very Valuable necklace. I explained how valuable and special the necklace was to me and even payed extra for expedited service 1 week instead of 3, less than a week later I received a call that the necklace was ready and I can pick up, I was so excited but unfortunately this is when it went sour. I arrived at the shop promptly and was told that he decided to change the design of the necklace by replacing the light pink thread to burgundy thread because he thought it would make a prettier design, I was so surprised and disappointed I believe my complexion turned pale, the necklace looked very different from the necklace I dropped off. The value of the necklace was originally over 1k and was designed beautifully in my opinion. At this point the seller reassured me that he can redo the necklace and restore the original design. I agreed to take it home to see if I can get used to the new design and come back the next day if needed, Ultimately I was so upset and shocked by the situation that my husband returned the same day to have the necklace restored to the original design. This was when it became much worst the seller cut the necklace in half and offered my husband a refund!! My husband didn’t see the necklace was cut only when i received it at home i saw the necklace was damaged, I was shocked! My husband reassured me that must be an accident that the necklace is cut in half that he does not believe this was done out of spite. The next morning my husband returned to the store to request the necklace be restored to the original condition the seller did the job and than confirmed to my husband that he indeed cut the necklace on purpose because he was upset with my reaction to him changing the design of my precious necklace without asking my opinion, cutting the necklace is pure vandalism. Let alone the fact that he took on himself to redesign my necklace, I would never recommend this shop for any occasion. The seller was so unprofessional and rude. I was fairly understanding when he explained the reason he changed the color even though I was not in the same opinion I was happy when he offered to redo it, but cutting the necklace in half was very low and vindictive. In a situation like this he could of just offered some compensation and leave the rest. This kind of response was not something you would expect from a dignified shop. I’m still shocked. What would happen if someone went to the hairdresser and requested one procedure and received something completely different anyone would be surprised. But than the hair dresser would decide to cut the hair off. That’s as close to how I felt about the stores response to my situation. Thank you for reading my review. Unfortunately this was a poor experience not because of the error but because of the treatment. I did receive my necklace at the end but the way it was done was so unkind. At the end he did fix my necklace and my husband paid whatever was requested but the way the situation was dealt was extremely rude and unprofessional ** I read the store’s response to my review and this only strengthens my feelings of disappointment. For reference The discount I requested was the extra fee I paid for expedited service since the necklace was Redone in an odd manner that was not expected plus calling 14K gold beads cheap is another poor attempt insulting a customer this only reinforces the vindictive behavior. The choice of string was very different from the original burgundy or blue as far as I’m concerned it was not what I expected."

"After eating a delicious lunch we walked down to this shop on the corner. Nomad Beads has an extensive collection of every type of bead, stone, crystal or trinket you can think of. They also carry a nice collection of artisan jewelry. We found some pretty moonstone pieces that the kind lady offered to make into pendants while we waited. What a great souvenir for my daughter and me to bring home from our trip to Colorado. As we checked out the woman also mentioned that they give classes in jewelry making too. If you like unique gifts or crafting with beads you must stop by this place. Selection and staff are top notch."
