On February 12, 2005, the Rare Earth Bead Shop was born. Since then it has been constantly expanding the many facets of a bead shop. This online resource is just another service for our ever expanding community of friends.

Welcome!

Located in Durham, North Carolina, on Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd (15-501 Business) the shop is situated adjacent to Foster's Market.

Rare Earth Bead Shop provides many services for the local beading community. The shop offers free classes and beading advice to all. The shop offers custom and unique pieces of jewelry, handmade by the artists of Rare Earth Bead Shop.

Our shop and this online resource are not the only places to find our one-of-a-kind bead selection, Rare Earth Beads travels across the East Coast attending many shows. In the past the shows were our only outlet; we continue to attend many shows but have significantly reduced the number of shows we attend.
