The Bead Gallery has been part of the heart and soul of downtown Ann Arbor for over twenty years. Located in a charming Victorian house, the store's appeal and personality are apparent in many ways, from the details of displays to the adorable fairy doors on each floor.
The artists who work at The Bead Gallery come from diverse backgrounds but have one thing in common: a passion for creating beautiful jewelry and sharing that passion with others. The staff's talent and friendliness helps make the store a center of creativity, where customers are inspired to learn new techniques and share design ideas. Our clean, well organized store offers an amazing selection of beads and findings of all kinds, as well as a huge variety of classes.
