Since my go to crystal shop Beaddazzled in Falls Church ,VA is closed, I have been trying to find that one place I can go to get my crystals. I traveled for an hour and half to get to S&S Beads today. I was excited about my first visit. Two young ladies were in the store. One was very helpful and friendly ( I wish if I asked her name) But the other one ruined my experience!!! You would expect the best when you go to a crystal store. Whatever her day might had been , her service was awful and very disrespectful. I would have spent more money in the store today and in the future if I didn't pick up her negative energy. I couldn't stay as I wished. Young lady,I am sending you love & light. Heal better. Or let others handle the business. Word of advice focus on what you are good at. Customer service is not for everyone.

I've been going to S an A Beads for close to 30 years now I needed to have my wind chime restrung but their prices are ridiculous now not sure Covid had something to do with it. I will be restringing by things myself.

I’ve shopped with S&A beads for 15 years. The selection of beads is great. However, the owners daughter is so curt and unfriendly, it makes the shopping experience uncomfortable. Maybe I came on a bad day for her or maybe it’s her personality? I don’t know. However, experience with other sales people, including Larry, has always been engaging, informative and pleasant. And because I live in the neighborhood, I enjoy stopping in for quick chats.

Beautiful store with a wide selection and wonderfully helpful employees! I stopped by for the crystals but was very impressed with their bead supplies/selection. Can’t wait to go back!

The store is beautiful and well laid out. I went in to pass the time making a pair of earrings on a super hot day. What a relaxing, great hour spent. Lovely, helpful salespeople, nice atmosphere and conversation and SO many interesting beautiful things.

This shop is amazing! I especially love Johanna’s work. She makes the most beautifully crafted electroform and wire wrap jewelry. Her work is so professional and high quality. You can really tell she has taken the time to perfect her craft. I would highly recommend this shop to a friend! :)

Charged my daughter $15 for a $4 hacky sack. I went in, saw the basket of hacky sacs clearly marked $4. They refused to give me a refund, instead gave me an $11 gift card… and it took them 10+ minutes to figure out how to make a gift card..

I absolutely love this shop. Everyone who works there is so kind, helpful, and knowledgeable! I had an amazing time speaking with Emily, who was attentive and seemed happy to be help me. I was also thoroughly impressed with Johanna and her incredible artwork. It’s clear how skilled Johanna is at her craft and how much love she puts into it. I will definitely be back!

I absolutely LOVE this shop! I’ve been coming to this store for over 30 years for all my jewelry supplies and crystals and they always have everything I need. Emily, the owner, and her staff are all incredibly helpful and kind. They’re also very knowledgeable and all make beautiful jewelry! I’m still learning about crystals, but they’re always eager to assist me in finding what I need. They go above and beyond to help me find the crystals that are right for me. They’re always happy to tell me about any crystal properties or even find a crystal based on properties that I’m looking for. I definitely recommend shopping at this great store for a lovely and enjoyable experience. Love you S&A!

I never write reviews, but I had such a fabulous experience with S&A Beads that I feel compelled to do so!!! I heard about this place from a friend in DC when I complemented her on her earrings over Zoom. I went to their website and I found a necklace that I LOVED but it was sold out. I took a chance and called the store to see if they could make something using the same kinds of stones. They ended up making something even better than what I saw originally! Thank you again to Emily for taking all of my design ideas over the phone and then translating them into this gorgeous-ness. I’m wearing it now and I am truly obsessed!!!

I beaded when i was younger, and came in to the store with a specific idea for pearl bracelets. I got great direction and advice, then the staff let me browse until I had more questions. I don't think I could have make my project without their help and advice! I highly recommend shopping here - they even told me what type of elastic to use, even though they didn't have it in stock, they gave me the name. I don't know how their prices compare but honestly, it doesn't matter because the advice I received from their experience was invaluable.
