Our History

Since 1993, String Bead has been a Chico landmark. We've provided beads, jewelry making supplies, classes from local and worldwide artists and so much more to our community.

Many will tell you String Bead is like a second home. Between all of the trunk shows, classes, and events, our shop is always filled with artists of all ages.

We are proud to have served our community for nearly three decades. This plucky little bead store is still around after all the challenges this community has been through and hope to stick around for many more generations. Come see for yourself the extensive collection of beads, tools, chains and so much more that we have to offer.

Remember, from stringing your first bead to setting your first stone, String Bead will be there to help you on your journey to creativity.
