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!
