It goes without saying that this is one of the friendliest places in the area, for beads or anything. Kathleen, the owner of Diva Beads and Jewles, is acts like anything but a Diva. Her open hearted way of treating everyone who walks in the door makes it easy to realax and spend time, while her expertise and creativity makes it easy to bring your ideas to life. I called and had an idea for my wife's birthday, and by the time I came in the door 30 minutes later Kathleen had already put together a beautiful ring to show me. A grand daughter of a customer had already fallen in love with the prototype, so when I said it was perfect and I loved it Kathleen went right to work and made another in my wife's size. Then she spent about 10 minutes with me while we both worked to find the exact shapes, sizes and color for a matching pair of earrings, and within 40 minutes I left the store with the perfect present. Kathleen, you are not a Diva, but you are Divine.

Pros: See review above. One thing I left out: Lilly the dog. You just gotta love Lilly.

Cons: Not a one.

Great service. Reasonable prices. Kathleen is wonderful at creating ideas, teaching new techniques, assisting her customers with supplies,and jewelry repair. Have recommended her to many of my friends. If you've never attended a workshop, you're missing a fun night. Girl's night out is great. She can even book you for private group lessons.

Pros: Variety of items to choose from to be totally creative. Great books. Low prices. Friendly Service. Knowledgeable instructor, fun end enjoyable classes. So many items to choose from, there's never running out of ideas or projects to do or learn.

Cons: Wish I had more time in my day to shop, and create.

I do highly recommend anyone interested in beading/ learning how to make their own jewerly get in to see Kathleen! Prices ~ very reasonable Service~ excellent My "expectations" were met many times over! Not being a "beader" myself I do like to incorporate beads into some of my crochet work. I met Kathleen and discussed my project and that I needed her advice on the right size of bead and quantity. I've been extremely pleased with her assistance every time! I've taken several classes with her &/or her guest teachers and am so pleased with all I've learned from them.

Pros: I love the atmosphere of this store. I appreciate all of the help Kathleen has given me over the years, from teaching me various techniques to repairing a friends' broken necklace to assisting me with my selection of beads for various projects. Even when I've gone in and Kathleen has been busy she always greets you and makes you feel welcome!
