I get the supplies I need here and/or the inspiration to design and redesign my jewelry projects. The staff is always encouraging, creative and organized. It is a real pleasure to shop in this store. Even though parking is on a city street, I've never had difficulty finding space. It's a little retro, and it's a lot charming.

I went in to the bead shop with my roommate and was instantly hooked! There were so many beads and so many options! The attendant was also very helpful and knowledgeable! Since my first visit I have been back many times!

I have frequented Beads of Contentment (BoC) since 1994 and have always been satisfied with my visits. A bead store, BoC has loose beads for sale, from simple seed beads to intricately painted or carved choices. Additionally, there is a crafting space with tools available for use so that browsers can create their own jewelry in the store, with the expert help of the employees. For less than $10, you can create the exact necklace or bracelet or earrings that you want. You have the pride of creating your own jewlery and the assistance needed to do so. The staff is always helpful and friendly, and they teach classes for specific designs and creations. It is located in downtown Modesto and I highly recommend you give it a try. Even an inexperienced beader can be successful at creating jewelry. It's fun, reasonably priced and a lovely, warm environment.
