xxAbout Boston Bead Company

Welcome!

It is my pleasure to introduce you to the Boston Bead Company. After 20 years as a Beadworks Franchise we are now a fully independent small business, with shops in Cambridge and Salem, Massachusetts. Our goals are to bring you the finest beads, beading components and jewelry-making tools, to teach you beading techniques through in-store demonstrations, our extensive calendar of classes, and our online beading resource beadOpedia, and to educate you about the art, craft and history of beads and beading.

Jewelry Repairs
Stringing & Knotting

Our Cambridge and Salem stores are pleased to accept most stringing and knotting repairs. By definition a repair is the exact reconstruction of an existing, broken or worn-out piece of jewelry. We don't do custom work but we would love to teach you how to create somthing new from your broken or worn-out piece of jewelry and how to make it yourself. We also do not accept repairs that require soldering. A reputable jeweler in your area is always your best resource for soldering repairs.
