Northern Star Co

I love that this place is a women owned and operated store. I love that I can go there to get stuff for my craft and if I'm unsure about something they are nice enough to help me figure out what something is for.

I am grateful for the informative and thorough assistance I received. I am happy to continue to support Northern Star. I appreciate that it's Women-owned and operated. Here's to your continued success for years to come.

Hey There

If I could give them a no stars I would. If you’re a POC do not go here if you don’t want to be followed around the whole store without being greeted.

If you’re looking for jewelry making supplies, stone or glass beads then this is definitely a great shop to go to with high volume of selection of variety that is, shapes though are very basic round or oval mostly, or raw tumbled (stones that is) . HOWEVER: you’re not allowed 🚫 to touch any of the stone strands even though they’re fully accessible on the stores floor, with signs clearly posted saying ‘Don’t touch, we’ll assist you with the strands’ or something to that affect basically insinuating that you’re going to steal them if you have any interest in them, and if somehow that’s not the message their trying to portray just the simple fact that you immediately feel like you’re being treated as a child and cannot handle handling their stone strands is quite unnecessary and inconsiderate in my opinion. I’ve been to some very high end up-scale bead stores i.e the bead shop, spearit etc. all of which have MUCH more selection and shape of stone and glass beads (evidently priced way way wayyyy higher as well) always accessible and on the stores floor for the public. I would have bought many strands had I been able to physically myself pick the ones I wanted instead of having to be assisted and feeling like I did something I simply didn’t and never have had intention to, because their prices are very fair however due to the facts stated above I will not visit this store again. There’s plenty of other bead shops who don’t undermine your intentions or comfortability.
