Best Bead Store

1) The Bead Hive

"It's more than a passion. It's an obsession." That's how Bead Hive co-owner Barbara Lynch describes beading. And Bead Hive is a "full-service bead store," according to Lynch's partner, Rena Mulrain: "anything a beader might want, they can find here." That includes freshwater pearls, sterling silver, gold fills, and more. Not obsessed yet? "We're really dedicated to bringing the art and crafts of beads to anyone and everyone," Lynch says, and to that end, the Bead Hive offers a full array of classes, ranging from the basics of beading to more esoteric ones, like kumihimo, an ancient Japanese art incorporating beading and fabric weaving.
