Candy necklaces and ring pops look great, but many prefer the nuanced mouthfeel and clean finish of precious gems and metals. Show off sophisticated taste with the help of today's Groupon: for $8, you get $20 worth of beads, stones, crystals, books, tools, and more at Beads'N More in Uniontown. This Groupon is not valid for classes, finished jewelry, or consignment items.

Beads'N More's bright, cheerful shop is bursting with beads and baubles of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Sparkling batches of crystals, gemstones, and imported, glass-worked beads invite an artistic eye to adopt them and set them loose upon a string that's set upon wrist or collarbone, catching the eyes of passersby and arousing the envy of dully colored mollusks. Single loose beads start as low as a penny and slide up to $10; finer items, such as elegant focal beads, range from $7 to $45. For the less bulky beading projects on your strung-along list, Beads'N More also carries vintage Czech seed beads sold by the hank for as little as $2.75. An array of tools and instructional books is also available.

Though most folks enter Beads'N More just to find out what the store even sells, veteran visitors know that the "more" stands for "friendly expertise from two very nice ladies." Owners Alyson Allen and Estelle Goodnight humbly welcome guests to select the beads and stones that speak to them and, in the end, produce a piece that they will truly love to wear and share.
