Best

I noticed many dealers are buying their jewelry from isaybid and reselling on craigslist for 10-20 times the amount. Check isaybid for quality jewelry for pennies on the dollar!

Worst

The woman who runs this shop is consistently rude. I've visited several times since the shop has opened and she has warmed up only slightly. Recently I got a surprising smile an...

Best bead shop in New York! 8/16/2008

I stopped by Brooklyn Bead Box last week and I fell in love with this shop! The atmosphere is very relaxed and inviting and there is a large selection of beautiful beads. The owner, Erin, was very helpful and patient and she even took the time to help me design a pair of earrings. There was an earrings class starting soon after I got to the shop, so the owner suggested I join the class. It was great and I learned the basic skills for making a simple pair of earrings. I had never made any jewelry before, so I appreciated the extra help and advice. Pros: large selection, helpful staff Cons: small shop more

Pretty Beads, Rude Employee 7/18/2008

I went to check out BBB's \r Wine and Bead gathering to take advantage of the10% discount. I also had some ideas of designs and had questions on how to execute them. Well the employee that was working there (I think her name was Erin) was incrediblely cold and rude. Every question I asked her she gave me a weird look like I was speaking a foreign language. I'm not sure she even knew much about beading. I was asking about certain beads and what type they were and she responded coldly "They are all labeled on the out side of their box" which was not the case. Some were labeled, some weren't. On top of that when I was checking out, I had to remind her about getting 10% off, otherwise she wasn't going to do it herself.\r \r This shop has nice beads, but they are pricey. I would rather take the extra time to go into Manhattan to shop in the garment district to get cheaper prices.\r \r I don't think I'll ever shop at BBB again. more

Nice Beads But Very Rude Employee 7/18/2008

I went to Brooklyn Bead Box to check out their Wine and Bead gathering, plus take advantage of their 10% discount they offer during this event. I also went with some design ideas but had some questions how to execute them. Well the employee that was working at the time (I think her name was Erin) was so rude and not approachable. Every question I asked her she looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. I am not sure if she really knew much about beading or was just not feeling like being helpful. This rude person was even talking down to me like I was a complete idiot. When I was asking about what some of the beads are made of, she snapped ""It's labeled on the outside of their box"" which was not the case. Some were labeled and some weren't, which I had to point out. Then when I checked out, I had to remind her about the %10 off, otherwise it seemed like she wasn't going to do it on her own. Pros: pretty beads Cons: rude staff more
