echo artworks - Bremerton (WA)

2 /5 S M: I came in here recently and didnt have the best experience whatsoever. The store owner just looked annoyed with me right away, like she didnt want me there. I decided to patron the store anyway because I needed some supplies. Much of the materials are tarnished, old and scratched up Czech glass beads. I was bummed out to see all the damage and tarnishing on these pieces. I make jewelry and only want to give my customers the best quality. So I thought Id just make something for myself. Its my fault that I read the price tag wrong but dang, are you really going to charge almost $20 for four beads that have visible scratches on their finish thereby ruining the quality of the pieces? Embarrassingly I had to put the item back. But when asked about classes she just pointed at a schedule in front of me. No warmth. I want to support local business but not when its made obvious Im just not wanted there, and with overcharged damage product its a hard sell for me. Ive been coming here off and on over the years since I was a teenager. I still have some glass beads I purchased here. But sadly, I dont think I can return.

5 /5 Tiff Myrick: This was the first time visiting and I have to tell you it was awesome. The two ladies working were incredibility helpful and sweet. Answered my questions and I knew I was walking out with legitimate product. I would highly recommended this store to anyone looking for jewelry supplies. They are responsibly priced and have a plethora of goods. Glad I went and will be returning!

5 /5 Bernadette __: Nice bead shop conveniently located in Bremerton. Great selection, good prices and super helpful staff (owners?). I recommend you come here first before bothering with a big box store or online purchase.

5 /5 Susan Bowers: I love this store! The ladies have great customer service and support, and the dog is very sweet! They have a wide variety of beads and everything you need to create your jewelry, and have classes to learn how to create your own jewelry! This is a great store!
