If you want just beads and jewelry DIY supplies, their stock is limited-- go to Firefly in Carrboro. If you want big chunks of gemstones for display, this is the place. The staff were very nice.

Excellent selection and very fair pricing. Large displays of giant crystals and lots of strands of specific bead types. Multiple bowls of beads and jewelry ornaments. Shop owner was very knowledgeable and very kind and considerate.

I love this place! Awesome service. You can be left alone to browse or if you want guidance or have questions, they are ther to help and share their love of gems. I've spent a couple hours at a time there and they were happy to let me comb through last chance bin at my slow pace. I love the quality and value. It's one of my happy places!

Amazing staff. Amazing products. I always feel welcome compared to other crystal stores. Amazing quality all around and I just found out they had clearance stuff too :)
Only con. I can’t buy everything.

Love this store & love the deals. The girl who is usually working is super knowledgeable and friendly every time I come in (which is a lot). Also much more fairly priced than other crystal stores in the area while also selling jewelry making supplies that I don’t find anywhere else! Attached is a necklace I made all with materials from rare earth beads.

I've been going to Rare Earth Beads for years. One of the best stores for gem stones, variety and quality, in the area. I also got some of the traditional African beads there.
They no longer do classes I think because of covid but they do give advice and help as much as possible.

This was my first time here, and I had so much fun! I was shopping both for myself and for my son who is about to come for a visit, and the staff was incredibly helpful. My only complaint is that you just had too many beautiful things all at once, which made it hard to choose. Not much of a complaint, I know!
