Capital City Beads

This place has not only beads but every manner of jewelry making tool you can imagine. The staff is friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. If you enjoy making jewelry as a hobby or a profession this should be a regular stop for you.

allow me to explain. size 11 sead beads are real popular but in native american i personally find it very accomidating for fine detail. even a 13 would be fine. this store has a decent selection but i like matte opaque finish and they dont have much of that an I’ll credot that to a lack of popularity. but when i ask for a size 11 red sead bead and you dont even realize you has some in a tiny bags at the front of the store mixed in with loose stones and i find them kinda tells me that maybe you dont know your store even as well as i. i dont know your store. i guess i assume these should have been with the other size 11 seed beads. owell dont know but it simply turned me off.

Capital city beads! … Joan’s who… Michaels Who?
Capital city beads is where you would go if your in the downtown area for beads. IF your a bead lover like me this place would be bead heaven! So many variety of beads to choose from and all the accessories to create bead works are all sold here. They even have blank chains and varies with all kinds of color such as rose gold, gold, silver, leather, and other color cords and chains.
The location is great too, it is not hard to miss and its like right there on the busy streets of L. Lots restaurants near by as well. There are free parking near one or 2 blocks away, just got to search for it. Very easy accessible through public transit or even walkable in the midtown area.
The vibe when you step in you would get inspired to make your own jewelry or beading accessories. I felt like i was going to be a creative beast and make something spectacular art piece. I love coming here when i need to find some beads to make my jewelry presents for friends and family. I discovered they carry a basket of vintage stamps from all over the world and are so cool to just put it in a album to look at the vintage stamps. The vintage stamps are great for scrapbooking too.
The layout is quite organized and every bead tray has a price per piece, usually its under an $ 1 for example $.35 each bead. Also most beads are categorized such as name brand one Swarovski crystal beads, cutie food beads, or just small beads, medium size beads, large beads, and etc. Brand new wood floors just brightens up the day and makes bead shopping much more delightful. This is a fun place and trust me you will spend a good half hour looking at each bead and will automatically just say wow…
They even offer classes here, depending what you want to learn. They offer a leather jewelry class, bracelet class, necklace and earring class. They even offer Metal cord wrapping jewelry as well. The price range for these classes are about $ 15 and up. The duration is about 1 hr to 2 hrs and up depending what you are learning.
Overall if you are in search for some unique beads and you can’t find it elsewhere, come here and give it a shot. They even have a rewards program so just ask about it if you purchase some cool stuff. The owner is a sweetheart and tries to help find what your looking for and she knows exactly where it is. Thanks for reading and lets go find some beads!

Strolling midtown and finding Capital City Beads was a treat. They have an ample selection of beads in a very organized layout. The owner was friendly and had a lot of great things to say about living in the area. The store offers weekly classes on various crafts. If I lived here, this would become part of my life’s routine.

Love this bead shop. Very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and attentive staff. Nice selection of semi-​precious beads, shells and wood beads as well as the normal selection of glass and seed beads one would expect at a bead store. Classes look interesting and offer a wide range of jewley techniques. Parking is not fantastic but, it is Midtown Sacramento. It is worth the drive into Sacramento and worth the parking spot hinting for the wonderful people and beads.

Such an amazing store! They have everything! Ultra hip style and the girls who work there are so sweet! Learned some new things and truly enjoyed cruisin around :)

Great selection, very helpful service. So much fun and a treat to come out and get lost in here.

I have family visiting from Pennsylvania and they wanted to check out Old Town Sacramento after leaving the airport. I, of course, had to do a Unilocal!search to see if there were any bead shops nearby. As luck would have it, Capital City beads was only two miles away. I had never been to Sacramento before but had no trouble finding it. I was so busy looking for the store that I missed the public parking right across the street. I ended parking about four blocks away.
The store is clean and bright. The layout makes sense and it’s easy to locate what you need. They have a nice variety, carrying stuff for whatever type of beading you may be in to. The workers were friendly and helpful. They offer a loyalty card; for every $ 10 spent you get a stamp. Once your card is full (10 stamps), you get $ 10 off your next order. My only complaint is that the seed beads did not list their country of origin or color numbers. That makes it really hard to find the beads again if you should need more.

This place looks great since the remodel! I love the new inventory too!

Wow, guess it’s been a while since I’ve been here. At some point the Bead Fetish (which I’ve been shopping at since I was a teenager) went away and Capital City Beads sprung up in its place. Though the girl at the counter told me the new owners are people who were affiliated with Bead Fetish, so it’s practically like keeping it in the family.
So (mostly) same staff, same venue, same great inventory, new name. It’s still my first stop when I want to make myself something pretty, and my favorite bead shop in the Sacramento area. Capital City Beads is definitely a shop to check out for your next bead or jewelry project.

I have been a student/​customer for 3 years at bead fetish/​cap city beads. The staff is AWESOME! I have taken almost a dozen classes and will continue to take lots more. As a shopper, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Regarding their classes, the teachers are very knowledgeable and patient. Also, they have the best, affordable prices for their classes. Since the switch to cc beads, they have added lots of new classes and inventory. If you are looking for sales, they have special deals on 2^nd Saturday weekends. By far, my fave bead shop.

Ladies were very helpful. They had continued even with owner turnover. Prices are a little high but they have good sale items.

The best bead shop in the region, under new ownership (she was a longtime staff member and instructor) and boasting an ever-​expanding inventory. The classes are great (I’ve taken nine or 10) and are of particularly good value. The team Is creative AND kind. And fabulous lunch places all around. Lol.
