The best crystal shop around! Laura has an amazing selection and deep knowledge. Can’t miss place if you’re in the near western suburbs.

Lovely establishment with even lovelier management. Laura is knowledgable and talented and knows how to keep stock that keeps me coming in year after year. Support local small business! Especially hteat spots like this one.

I have visited the store twice in the past week and I cannot say enough good things about it. What initially drew me in was reading a post on Facebook. When you first walk in, there is the most amazing wall of beads that is color coordinated...absolutely amazing! There are various hand made items from all over the world! I was most excited to see the back room full of crystals! So many gorgeous pieces! There was so much thought that went into the entire store. My friend and I happened to visit on a rare sunny day in February which just added to the experience. The back room was lit up and the sun was reflecting off all the pieces. Laura herself so helpful and her stories just further prove how much heart/passion she puts into her business. I am so glad I found such a “gem” right in my own backyard. Oh and the prices are so reasonable! I have been to other stores that are much more expensive. I cannot wait to go back!

I was looking for a place where to learn jewelry making and after looking for stores around my house, I found Laura Atwood’s place and fell in love with her and her studio. She has gemstones of the best quality and as you visit the different rooms in her store you discover the exquisite merchandise that she sells. The magic touch she has when teaching is unbelievable. What I admire the most in her, is her patience when teaching, and the craftsmanship displayed at the moment she designs her pieces. I find a variety of materials from all over the world at reasonable prices. I love this place!

I love this store! They have an enormous supply of unusual beads, crystals and gems along with a beautiful array of chains and findings. Although the store may seem small, walk to the back and you will find oils, incense, tapestries and even bags and wall hangings. Laura is very kind and so knowledgeable about the items in her shop!

Had a lovely bachelorette party here. The bead selection was amazing and the woman helping us that day was sweet and friendly. Not only did we make pretty necklaces and bracelets but we also found some nice rings and earrings to buy.

I was here for an 8 year old girl's birthday party. I was super impressed. They had not only a lovely selection of beads, but they had additional rooms full of bath bombs, soaps, some little toys (fidgety kinds of things), candles, smudge sticks, essential oils, geodes, polished rocks, crystals and other mineral/ gem types of stones. The prices on some things are good to fair, and a bit pricey on others. The selection of things for anyone interested in beading, jewelry making or just into holistic thing, is excellent. I recommend at least visiting for the selection of items.

We love this store! Gorgeous beads and they did a great job helping us fix a necklace. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend.
