Wondrous selection of beads and crafting materials! Different types of beads, gems, stones, findings, and a big section dedicated to more professional materials and tools. Shop owner and staff very knowledgeable and willing to answer all questions. Last time I went I purchased a large quantity of beads and the owner was kind enough to give me a little discount! Great place πŸ‘πŸΌ

The staff here are very helpful and considerat. Most of the items I use to create my jewelry, I get here. I love the selection and the prices, and the staff is super helpful. If you dont know a skill, they can often demo it, or sign you up for a class to learn it! Plus, they offer 1 on 1 instruction for $15 an hour. Argenta Bead allows me to give my customers quality! Check out the stuff I have made using the items I bought here! TheDragonsGem.com

First time loved it !!she showed me how to replace everything my self but had her do it I watched . The fix was less then $2.00.The great thing if I lost a piece of bling in a earring or necklace I dont have to pitch it just go there get the missing bling glue it on with that tiny tube of glue ( so east to use becauseIts tiny like my stones) can wear & enjoy again and not a crafty person!!! Love this place!!!

Been in here twice and so far I like it. Ive been able to find unique bead colors and styles for my business that I havent found anywhere else for a decent price. Some gemstones are kind of expensive but I will deff be returning.

I learned everything I know about making jewelry from the lovely and attentive staff at this wonderful store. The prices are so reasonable it brings a tear to your eye, and there is no end of support if you’re having trouble finishing a project. They do classes, they do wonderful bead exchange events... anyone who rates this shop any lower than a five has definitely only been there once and was probably in a lousy mood when they went.

Argenta Bead Company is THE place in Arkansas to go to make your own jewelry, have repairs done, get help with a custom piece, or shop for beautiful beads, pendants, tools, chains and more. Its a one-stop shop and the staff is tremendously helpful. Im a seasoned jewelry maker and I come here all the time for things I need. Im never disappointed. Argenta Bead is where I learned to make jewelry, and they can help you do the same if thats your goal.

I asked Rachel if they could make a bead kit for a group of young ladies I buy for. Not only did she put together the kits quickly, she picked out a variety of really neat beads, and packed them in beautiful pouches. These will be fantastic presents.Such great help, creativity, and awesome customer service.

Great Selection and Customer ServiceIm never disappointed when I visit this charming shop in Little Rocks SOMA district. The owner and her employees are always ready to answer questions and address concerns I have, before, during and after purchase. I have even attended a workshop (pre pandemic) and shopped one of their LIVE online shopping events. I cant wait to visit again and finally get to meet Riker, the shop doggo.

It was such a pleasure to work with the group at Argenta Bead Company on a recent Saturday afternoon. I won a party ABC donated to Argenta Community Theater and the business gave so much time and attention to make sure our party enjoyed put together earrings. They were amazing. Their assortment of glass beads, beautiful stones, and other sparkling and intriguing items would make any crafters heart flutter just a little. The kid in me wanted to run my hands through all the tubs of colorful glass beads or over the different textures of stones (but I set a good example for the younger ones with me and was restrained). Fantastic experience and I highly recommend a small group class for a fun afternoon with friends.

I love supporting a local business and the owners are great. They have every bead imaginable and stones for jewelry making. They will have tools and wire for wrapping and soldering tools and wire. They offer classes regularly so check their schedule often as they fill up fast, if you need a private class they offer those anytime, I took one with Miranda, they are $15 per hour. Go have fun and be creative anytime, they have a work/ play area set up for customers.

Nice store filled to the brim with an eclectic mix of beads and charms. Almost too much to look at. Every color, different sizes, materials, supplies... You get the idea. Parking is limited, so wear comfortable shoes.

The Bead Store is the best ever. Little shops like these need to remind us that the American Dream is not outsourcing labor from China, but keeping Americans here in our country working and feeding their families. I support local business owners and the Bead Store is hands down my favorite local small business.

So, its been a few years now since I have been going to Argenta Bead. They are in a new location now, but its still the same great place with an overwhelming selection of beads and jewelry making items.You can get custom made jewelry here, you can get jewelry repaired or altered. Frankly, I think they under charge for these services given the amount of skill that goes into the work.The staff is very knowledgeable and will help you figure out how to accomplish your project, but you need to have some idea of what you want!! Bring pictures and they can help you figure out how to make it!They also have regular classes for different techniques. You should check out their Facebook event page and sign up for a class or two!Honestly, I could spend hours at this store just looking, and still probably see something new the next time I came in! I love this place!

Review β„–34

I saw an ad in the visitors guide and a photo of a necklace that my wife would love so I drove from my hotel to the location really excited to pick up something unique for her birthday. When I got there they told me they did not have the necklace and then another beadchick found the advertised necklace on a display. I was excited to find exactly what I was looking for however the girl went into the back (the boss beadchick I assume).When she came back I was told the necklace was not for sale. No real reason just it was not for sale. I was disappointed and left. So if you want to buy the necklace pictured in the magazine dont waste your time or gas they wont sell that one.
