Piece Of Mind Bead & Jewelry Studio

I’ve always had an amazing experience here, they have amazing arrays of stuff… Literally something for everyone. But I love in particular how many artistic items they have. Of course the reason I’m forever grateful and will be a loyal customer is for the gal that fixed a necklace for me that means the world to me. She did it in moments…

The shop has a pleasant atmosphere, a few interesting show piece baubles for necklaces. The Bead selection is average and limited, but the quality of the beads are very good. Parking is horrible.
I went to look for silver spacers and semi-​precious beads, very limited selection of both. I couldn’t find anything I needed.
I was given a hello after I’d been there a few minutes then was pretty much ignored.
For the beads I’d give a 4 star, but downgraded to 3 because of small selection, difficult parking and being ignored.

Creativity Central here with a helpful and warm owner, and a good — not super expansive — variety and selection.

I don’t know where they were before, but this is a location they moved to.
When I entered I was greeted pleasantly and asked if I was looking for anything in particular or needed some help.
It’s not a large space, but there is a large work table, and they have for sale lots of lovely beads, some of which are very unique, as well as selling already made jewelry.

Local bead store that used to be located up in North Natomas but has since relocated to downtown Sacramento. I used to visit the Natomas location frequently and absolutely loved every visit! The owner is so friendly and knowledgeable about everything jewelry related. I was making a beaded chandelier for my dining room and was looking for materials. In the end, there were not enough beads available for me to use for the chandelier but I did end up picking up some beads that I used as embellishments. There are «trunk shows» that are so much fun. I went to one and found the most unique pieces that I used to make a wrapped leather charm bracelet. I absolutely love this store! A must for any craftsperson!

Oh, how much do I love Piece of Mind? Almost as much as I love chocolate and new beads. And that’s a friggin’ LOT.
Gretchen is awesome. She knows more about beads and jewelry making than anyone I’ve ever met. She has quality stock, reasonably priced, great classes, and an amazing staff. If you get stuck on a project, just bring it in and plop yourself down. Someone smart and funny will walk you through it and keep you from taking hostages. Believe me, the girls at Piece of Mind have talked me down off the ledge on many occasions. If you don’t have a current project, come on in and they will inspire you like a muse to create beautiful pieces of jeweled art that you didn’t even know you were capable of making. Don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I just go there to hang out. These ladies make me feel like I’m one of their peeps. This is the bead store I will always hit first.
But you know what the best thing is? When I drop by, no matter who’s working or when it is, I feel like Norm walking into Cheers. :-) They know my name, they treat me like family. And THAT is a business I will support forever!
