Beads of Paradise

Barb Orelove

Fascinating array of beads and jewelry making options. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

More than a bead or a jewelry shop, this seems like a fetish store in the old fashioned sense of taste and iconography; it seems to possess accoutrements, decorations from the sacred to the profane (and with no contradiction between either) as well as adornments and, of course, beads of international varieties; the closest comparison that I can think of are of the “Witch Market” in Mexico City or the Amulet Market in Bangkok, Thailand, these are the times when you see the things you didn’t realize you wanted to see in your life!!!

This place is a treasure trove filled with outstanding beads and other things.

Here we have found an excellent source of quality semi precious opaque stones and crystals that are seemingly untreated and of excellent value. The store is full of pre strung strands that can be finished with whatever type of clasp or fastener that you choose to make a personal artistic or decadent styling to express your taste and creativity. We recommend this store also because of the sales help and respect that they demonstrate for the people that walk through the door. It is a unique store in Manhattan, and well, a paradise in a paradise for shoppers. • Tiger Eye • Lapis Lazuli • various spiritual or religious sculptures • and some types of ancient looks such as Byzantine, Kemetic ("Egyptian") African, and so many other wonderful items too many to mention. Trust me, you will save lots of money to defray the cost of your airline ticket. Remember, you can go broke by saving money if it's not a good investment is the caveat here.
