The Bead House

Lovely assortment of beads and findings for the artisan to the novice in a stately old home in Bristol.
Owners plan to move to a nearby location when the house sells. While the home is lovely, the quality of the inventory is what matters most, and that will remain unchanged.
Knowledgeable proprietor was friendly and helpful. Great selection at good prices.
Very pleasant experience shopping at The Bead House. Definitely worth the trip. Hope to return soon!

This shop is beautiful. It’s in the downstairs of the owners’ house, and they are awesome. The wife is an amazing jeweler herself, with skill and resources I have yet to attain. I trust their opinions unequivocally. When I am looking for a certain bead or finding, they always have a recommendation or a substitute.
The Bead House has an offsite studio, available to their clients for classes and for their own personal use for a small studio fee.
So, not only is this the place to go to get your creative juices flowing, the prices are the best around. Per bead, their pearl strands are the least expensive around, and they have the best prices on sterling silver. They also have an amazing selection on loose beads and multiple sizes of seed beads. Leather cording, silver chain, and lots of assorted findings.
Grab a tray with baggies and a marker and make your rounds! Or, if you just want silver or findings, hit up their website. It is really extensive, you get a web discount, and you can order and have it mailed or pick it up in the store.
