Company does not answer their emails and I have been waiting for weeks for my order to ship. Items are in stock according to their site. There is no way to cancel my order. Fraudulent company.

As a new visitor, staff was friendly and helpful. They have a very large selection of seed beads, great findings, crystals, chains, some stampings, and sequins. Not as much variety of natural stones, but that was not what I was there for. Overall, found what I needed and then some! Including some really cute mood beads and glow in the dark seed beads. I'm not sure why people are so picky for location. Overall pretty easy to get to and park during the day on a Thursday. Not the greatest street, not the worst. A lot of SF is dealing with this, don't let it stop you from visiting.

I was there about 2 years ago. Yes, the neighborhood is a little sketchy. And yes, they had a good size selection. What I remember most was the very unfriendly and not particularly helpful staff. I was looking for beads and findings that were little different. Something with character, things I would not find at Joann's but left buying nothing. Overall not a bad place but probably will not be back.

I had been having difficulty finding a particular color of bead that I I use to accent a product that I make. General Bead had them in stock. I placed an internet order. There was ample communication and the beads arrived very quickly. I'll definitely order from them again!

Hello! We refer people to Karizma on Church and Market for repairs and restringing. We do sell all the components if you'd like to try yourselves! It is a fun and accessible activity. Best, Beverly
Hello! Thank you for your interest. We double checked and we don't think there are any bead stores on Irving street- there are so few left now! We also took a look for craft stores and didn't see any but we're less familiar with them.
We sell semiprecious stones like jasper, quartz, onyx, amber, turquoise. And amethyst. We do not carry stones like diamonds, rubies, or emeralds.
We have about 300 different colors for Japanese 11/0 rocailles. We also have triangles, magatamas, twists, and hex cut!
Yep thats what i thought, i dont want to be restricted to only 1 hr, 2 hrs ok .the garage is probably expensive yes?
Hello! We do occasionally offer classes. You can sign up for our mailing list to receive updates. Our summer schedule will be out in a few weeks
Hello! Those are most similar to the Toho treasures or Delica seed beads in 11/0, which we do carry. Best, Bev
Yes they do have beaded fringe!. they have many colors snd styles...love general bead!
Hello! Yes, we have both beads and findings (ear wires, head pins, eye pins, thread, and so on) to make earrings. Best, Bev
Currently there are no wire wrapping classes on the schedule
Hello! We carry Matsuno, Miyuki, Toho, and vintage French 15/0 in rocailles and hex cuts. We have around 300 colors I believe.
