Barry Olen, owner of Beads and Beyond in Downtown
Asheville, NC
Welcome to Asheville's original bead store, your home
for Beads and Beyond here in Western North Carolina. Whether you're
a beginner making your first bead project or an experienced beader,
jewelry maker or metal smith we've got all you need for your craft
and many extra goodies too.
Beads and Beyond began over 2 deacades ago, back when Asheville's
now bustling downtown was still a sleepy mountain retreat. Today,
Beads and Beyond is an essential part of any vacation or visit to
downtown Asheville. You're guaranteed to see one of a kind treasures.
If you're coming to town for Bele
Chere you must make a stop to Beads and Beyond. It's a Bele Chere
tradition!
Here's just a sampling of what we offer: beads of all shapes and
sizes, african beads, asian beads, ancient world beads from 10,000
BC, the Roman Empire, Ancient Egypt, Mississippian Culture, Pre-Columbian
era, as well as beads from Europe, Thailand,
Venice, China,
Japan and
contemporary beads from local bead crafter and other American makers.
From our location in Downtown Asehville (we know it's misspelled,
google loves search options) we also offer beautiful feathers, jewelry,
crystals, gourds, carving stones and tools, books and equipment for
bead-making. |
