About The Bead Shop



The Bead Shop first opened its door 25 years ago. 10 years ago we opened our website for the first time. We will always strive to bring you the most unique gemstones, components, and chain.

The Bead Shop believes that creativity is empowering. Beads are magical, a universal medium for self-expression and creativity. We are determined to share our love of beads with our customers by providing exceptional education, highest quality products, and the finest service imaginable.

Repairs and Restoration



Janice Parsons, founder of The Bead Shop has been restoring, repairing and re-designing jewelry for clients since the shop first opened its doors in 1982. It's rewarding to see a broken strand of heirloom pearls carefully re-knotted and returned to a delighted girl, or a favorite bracelet with a broken clasp back in full working order so that it can be cherished once again.

Bring your jewelry into The Bead Shop and a member of staff will assess the kind of repair it will require and give a quote.

For more information on repair and restoration services please call us at 650 383 3413.
