Bead Utopia

Bead stores carry more than just inventory. Bead Utopia turns a boxy Madison Avenue storefront into a local reference for beads, findings, and jewelry-making essentials. It’s the kind of corner shop where you can dig into diamond-shaped beads, alphabet letter beads, and alphabet tile beads, then test the waters with semi-precious stones and pearls. Orders on request covers anything they don’t have on the shelf at the moment, and custom logo transfers add a polished finish to hand-strung pieces.

In an unassuming building near East 72nd Street you’ll find 140 Madison Avenue. A quick call ahead keeps the stockroom ready: 212-722-0266. Need a map for the cab? Use the directions to guide you straight there: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89e829367a434f2d:0x7170fef2deed152.
