Bloomin Beads, Etc.

Nothing special here unless you’re looking for Swarovski crystals and pearls. Not a large selection of other types of beads. Very few natural stones and not a wide selection of bead types and sizes. There are other bead stores that offer more.

I’ve been spending the week in the Columbus area and wanted to do a little bead shopping while here. I ended up at Bloomin Beads after checking out their website which has some wonderful pictures of their pretty bead displays. The store did not disappoint. There’s a lot to be said for having white walls and uncluttered spaces so that you can really see the beauty of the product. Grab a tray when you enter and just go shopping. They have glass and stone beads, along with some gorgeous Swarovski pearls and crystals. There are a number of kits and some lovely bead weaving displays of necklaces and bracelets. They also have a large variety of seed beads and findings. I found some unusual beads, which is always fun and the whole reason to bead shop in person.
I found the prices to be very reasonable, the beads are of very good quality and the staff was quite helpful.
Also, it was very easy to get here with lots of parking in front of the store.
I will definitely go back the next time I’m in town.
