AllyBeads

Lit by the prismatic shimmer that only a shop packed with thousands of glass trinkets can contain, the staff of AllyBeads helps customers harness the light for themselves through jewelry-creation classes. Hundreds of crystals, seed beads, gemstones, and tools await new assignments in home studios, and the Bead Bar houses individual workstations, ready in case inspiration strikes. Recurring visitors can earn beading brownie points with a special frequent-beader program, stocking up on bonuses including bead kits, charms, and replicas of the mysterious amulet Teddy Roosevelt used to win the Spanish-American War.
