Ornamentea

My cousin really likes going to this store. After seeing a piece of jewlery she had made there at Christmas I decided to give the place a little look see. Wow! they really do have tons of great looking things.

This is the most wonderful bead store I have ever visited, and I have visited many! The selection is superb, high quality materials, even the lower priced items were great quality (not like the big-box craft stores!). And the staff were more than helpful. They even helped me repair my own necklace - now I know how to do it. I signed up for 2 classes and am very excited (a friend of mine takes classes all the time and loves them!).

Highly recommended for all crafters.

Love this store! Wendy is the best great teacher! I would go there just to take her class. Great bead selection. Love it!!! Got some classy art deco beads and was able to make a cool necklace. I will be back!

This is the best bead shop I've ever been in! and I've been in a lot of them. I travel to Raleigh three or four times a year and I always plan to visit the shop and if time allows, take a class. I love it!

I love Ornamentea for so many reasons! Staff is GREAT always willing to share and be helpful and give advice. Place is visually so cool so plan on hanging out a while and looking at every nook and cranny! I just took a class there and the instructor was really good and gave lots of info. Not just about what project we were working on but about beading and jewerly making in general. Go and enjoy!

Ornamentea is THE place to go in Raleigh when you are looking for beading materials. The friendly and very knowledgeable staff is always available for customers to ask questions, and assist with any project that comes to mind. The store provides a place for customers to work on projects, and they will even allow you to use their tools - free of charge! They have an amazing assortment of glass beads, crystals, and semi precious stones. If you are an avid beader - look no further Ornamentea is your new crafting hot spot!

Ornamentea is a store in Glenwood South that sells beads. When you think bead store you usually think a cheezy craft store. Ornamentea actually sells high quality glass beads, expensive glass beads in some cases. This is a great place to go if you want to make a piece of custom jewelry. They have classes fairly reguarly teaching people how to make their own earrings and necklaces. The staff here is VERY helpful, and if you just stop in will often show you on the spot how to make something fantastic. This is a great store, for the trendy and the craft oriented.

PROS: Tons of high quality beads
CONS: Closes early (6-7) so its difficult for people with 9-5 jobs to visit

Ornamentea is the queen bee of all bead stores. You will not find your average, run of the mill, plastic crap beads here. Several friends who make j more...

My cousin really likes going to this store. After seeing a piece of jewlery she had made there at Christmas I decided to give the place a little look see. Wow! they really do have tons of great looking beads, I felt like I could have made any piece of jewlery I wanted. This isn't like your typical craft store, this place is for people who are serious about making jewlery, and really nice jewelry at that. I willdefinatly be back after I make the necklace I purchase stuff for. Fun Place to go.and I never thougth I would be crafty again!

Ornamentea is one of the best bead stores I've shopped at for beads. The store is full of eye candy and offers classes for experienced as well as new beaders. They are on top of the latest trends and keep their well stocked. They not only sell beads and jewelry, but I can always find other types of gifts that are equally creative.
