If you are into jewelry and if you are into crafts, this is the place for you.
These guys sell beads out the yin yang! They have every kind of bead you could possibly want.
I don't usually shop for beads so I don't much to compare it to but this definitely seems like the place to go.
The staff obviously fit the profile. They know a lot about beads, jewelry, and crafts and they seem to enjoy it all, at least the ones I've met.
Beads beads and more beads. If you need a bead, the Garden of Beaden is you best bet! -

This is a unique shop of beads, pendants, hemp and other jewelery making mediums such as Fimo clay.
This started out as a tiny little kiosk business in West Edmonton Mall and has since evolved into its own store near the Pirate Ship on the main level. Many of the pendants are made off-site out of pewter.
They have a unique, diverse selection of items available. The store is a great resource for creating hemp jewelery or just a unique necklace. -

I am an avid maker of jewelry, and Garden of Beaden is one of my favourite destinations for supplies and ideas. I purchase cords, loose beads, and findings such as clasps and hooks. Garden of Beaden also has an excellent selection of charms, from religious symbols to ones that are fun and quirky.
I making necklaces yourself is not your thing, there is a pretty decent selection of pre-made pieces from which to choose. An average price for a choker is around $15.
The beads here are made from glass, pewter, wood, fimo, and bone. If you are into hemp necklaces, you can find everything you need here as well. Findings for making bracelets and earrings are also carried at Garden of Beaden. -

This is a really cute place if you like jewelry. You can find some really great and unique pieces or you can great your own great and unique pieces. If you like jewelry then you'll love this place. I found some really nice sterling sliver pieces at a pretty decent price. I picked up a really great, plain looking sterling sliver bracelet with a single black bead or stone wrapped in another piece of sliver. It's a really great piece that I haven't seen at any other place. They also had some good-looking sterling sliver rings but they were a little more expensive than the $20 bracelet that I picked up. I'm on a budget, so that means I'll have to wait to pick up some other pieces from their store. They have these really cute flower shaped rings that I really want to pick up next time I go in! They look very different and classy.
Oh, if you are looking for some bone or wood carved earrings you can find them here; they also have stretchers. They have a pretty big selection to choose from, one of the bigger selections that I've seen so far. They have some unique looking designs.
They also have some really great necklaces that have the carved bone or wood designs. I really liked a lot of them, stupid budget!
There is a lot to look at in this store, so I suggest you take your time and find something that calls your name. The bracelet I found called my name and when I asked the really friendly and sweet girl behind the counter if I could take a closer look at it I didn't think it would actually fit. She was nice enough to help me put it on and it was a perfect fit. She cut the tag off and I wore it out of the store, after paying for it of course.
This is one of my new favorite places to come to when I desire some new pieces of unique jewelry at fits my style. This place is a piece of paradise. -

Garden of Beaden is great if you are an arts and crafts type of person.
They have everything you need beads related. Whether you want to make a necklace or bracelet they will have stuff that appeals to you. Depending on what you want to make it can cost anywhere from $5 to $30. Other than beads you can also find many different pendants here but none of them really interest me.
it's a great place for creative people. -

I can't stay away from anything shiny, sparkly or fun, so the Garden of Beaden always draws me in.
I've been doing crafts since I can remember and beading has been one of my favourite craft projects. The first time I went to Garden of Beaden was way back in college when hemp necklaces (yes, aging myself in the grunge days) were so in. Today I go for the unique beads and supplies I can't find anywhere else.
I'm kind of obsessed with Troll Beads now. They're so interesting and yes, shiny and colourful and yes, they have a nice selection of them. They also carry your basic glass, wood, plastic and clay beads as well as the necessary stringing mediums (hemp, leather, plastic, fabric, wire, etc.) and everything you need to make jewelry. As well, they have pewter charms and other supplies you may need for whatever beading project you have.
Their prices are a bit on the high side, but after all it's a specialty shop. If you're looking for better prices try the large craft supply box stores. -

In this bead-lovers' oasis you can not only feast your eyes on beautiful jewelry but you can buy all of the elements for making your own. I have spent hours at Garden of Beaden sifting through beautiful beads made of glass, metal, femo, wood and even bone to later take home and design original pieces. You can look at what jewelry is on display to get some idea of what's trendy now, and the sales people are very helpful with giving suggestions on bead combos and jewelry-making basics. I just wish this shop was a little bigger. You kind of have to hover over the dishes of beads. It would be great if there was a space for a table or stools so you could get comfortable while you get creative. If you're not crafty, but to wear jewelry, there's a great selection of wood and bone earrings, glass pendant and hemp necklaces, rings and other things to adorn yourself with.
