This is a SERIOUSLY luxurious shop for jewelry. They have EVERYTHING that you could want. From tv worthy jewelry, to wallets, claps, belt buckles, pearls, Nordstrom styled (Also worthy) jewelry, natural and BIG stones, tassels, feathers, purses, wallets, even Love bracelets! Their motto is “Don’t follow trends, BE the trend.” I have been shopping at String a Strand for years. GO THERE! I really want to plan a ladies shopping day out. Similar to Fashions Night Out but for jewelry.Any time you need a unique, solid piece, GO to String a Strand!

This was a much needed gift during a really tough time, I got the sweetest flowers, card and jewelry. The necklace and earrings were stunning. Forgot to post the earrings but you can see the flowers, card and necklace. This was delivered to my door in the cutest bag, what a treat! Thank you!

Amazing selection and great prices. Thank you Gloria for affixing the lotus flower charm to the chain I bought today for my new bracelet. Looking forward to coming back and learning how to make some of these designs myself

Love this place! Amazing selection of beads! Great Staff!

Cute jewelry shop. They have a great selection of accessories too. If ther is something you see online that’s hard to find call them. They seem to find the most difficult to find accessories

Got the most beautiful necklace as a gift from here for Mothers Day. Arrived in the cutest package. Cant wait to wear it all the time!

I love this store so much! I like to wear little delicate gold jewelry and they have plenty of it! All their stuff is super cute and sturdy, especially for the price. The staff is very accommodating. I like to layer my necklaces and I found this adorable necklace but the chain was too long. The owner was in the store and adjusted it right there and then for me so it would be shorter. She took it from a 18inch chain to a 15inch one and it layered perfectly with the rest of my necklaces. I was so happy! Another time, I saw this really cute Star of David necklace that I wanted, but they only had it in silver. They ordered it for me in gold and it arrived in less than a week! I was so impressed. I definitely would recommend this adorable store with super friendly staff. 🤗

I bought a pair if earrings from here for a gift and there were SO MANY cute and unique options! They have a lot of inventory that fit a ton of different styles. I will definitely go back for future gifts and for myself!

I live in the neighborhood and after a year of passing by I finally stopped inside while hanging out with my nieces. They loved the custom jewelry and each walked out with something they love. Check it out.

Ms Gloria is so sweet. She always gives my son little toys. My husband got me a copper ring from the store it is simple and cute. They have very good selection of jewelry. I love this store

Unique and memorable hand made goods. Its a staple of the neighborhood.

Unnecessarily rude employees. What an unpleasant experience!

Ive been making jewelry for 10 years, and occasionally use local bead shops when I need materials urgently. Im usually disappointed with price and selection, but not here. I found String a Strand when I needed a particular bead I hoped they would have, and left with much more! The store is beautifully designed, the materials are up-to-date with all the newest styles of jewelry, and the management is local and very friendly. Id recommend it to anyone looking to create a special piece (or purchase one, as they sell GREAT handmade pieces themselves). Definitely worth the visit.

Very pleasant store with a wide variety of beads, especially semi-precious stones and beads from Asia for art jewelry. Theres also finished jewelry and some housewares in the back. The staff are happy to help with design.

I needed a large amount of seed beads but they dont carry any. They appear to carry mostly small amounts of various novelty charms and beads. When I expressed surprise that they dont carry seed beads, the employee waved her arm around the huge open store and said we dont have enough room for them. Very strange because most of the store is open space. Obviously that is their choice, but is not a useful bead store for me if they dont carry the commonly needed beads.

Perfect place for jewelry parts. I lost an earing and the owner made the other earring into a necklace for me!

I had the best time in the jewelry making class here! Great bead selection. will definitely be back.

The owner was working and didnt speak to me the entire 15 minutes I was there until I came up to the counter to check out. Part of that time she was on the phone having loud personal conversations. She also took personal calls while checking me out. I wont be back.

I always enjoy visiting this store. Nice people and great merchandise.

Very nice, most helpful... a neighborhood gem.

Very nice store get a lady friend a gift. Cant go wrong because the nice owner will help

Huge collection of stringed beads and individual beads. Priced low to very expensive. Lovely displays. The store is laid out nicely. I look forward to my next visit.

Full of great trinkets.

Great variety and great customer service.

I went there with my friend. The lady who seems to be the owner didnt even greet us. We were waiting to be helped out, completely ignored us, but once another white lady came by she was friendly to her and we still waited 5 minutes even after the other customer left. So rude and lost potential customers.

Probably a small business trying to save money, but turn the air conditioner on: its summertime in Chicago!

Gloria was amazing!

Prices are too high. Selection is ok, not spectacular. The store is an option in times of need.

Nice people, pretty expensive, though.

Beautiful shop, wonderful prices, fantastic service!
