Man, this place rocks! (pun intended). I was so excited to visit this place. They have so many awesome finds (theyre the only place I could find that had rough Boulder Opals at a pretty stellar price) and their prices are great, especially for being in TC! Ill definitely be stopping by asap again!

Filled with amazing things. Its a must see for yourself and must stop when in Traverse. See my photos for a better idea of what I mean.

Awesome place to get stones, got some boulder opals, very reasonable versus downtown Traverse City.

As a gem and mineral collector, I had a great time browsing the assorted collection of specimens from around the world. This shop had a very real charm and personality to it, very authentic. The staff was very helpful and engaging, glad we stopped by.

Stopped in randomly after a day at the beach and absolutely loved it. The guy ringing us up (owner, I think?) was very friendly. My girls loved all the cute beads and trinkets. Well be back for sure.

The owner is very friendly told us a good story of the family history of this store. The family hand carve some of the stones at the store just beautiful! This store makes my heart Happy.

I absolutely love this place! A great selection of crystals, beads, and craft supplies along with gorgeous jewelry and one of a kind pieces! And the owners are really great people! Their customer service is wonderful And they are VERY knowledgeable about What they sell! Their prices are competitive and affordable. I was just there and bought some beautiful meteorite pieces! 😁 And the owner knew exactly what kind of meteorite! Ive been going here for many years now... Wish I lived closer lol.

Great selection! Lots of interesting items. Friendly staff and Karl always has fun stories or something new and cool to show customers who are looking for more information.

Love this place!!! Rock hounds will want to his this place up! Didnt feel like I spent an hour in here..

Beautiful store. Staff was super friendly. Anytime I am back In Traverse City, I will stop back in!

This place is beyond amazing!! The person who was working was the owner, he is very personable and funny!! They have a few different things, like beads, jewelry, tshirts, hoodies and a lot more. I loved everything I seen but got a tshirt and hoodie. I love both of them!!

This place is amazing they have really cool stones and jewelry and the owner was really awesome will definitely be going back, if your in town definitely stop in!!

Nawbin was such an amazing store to visit while in town for a short stay. Highly recomend this stop! Pretty crystals and decor for the spiritual, and other awesome items for everyone else :)I will come back to Michigan just to revisit Nawbin!!

So cool!! Must see

Great store for beads and other items to make jewelry. Beautiful loose stones too.

Great place to find unique items.

Amazing shop!!!!! Loved the goods and the atmosphere..... The next time Im up this way, Ill visit again ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Good selection, but staff are pretty rude. I went in for one item, I probably spent $5. I went to check out the selection with the intention of going back to purchase more later. when I went to the checkout the cashier belittled me for only spending $×. Definitely wont be back.

Stopped in with family and friendsWe saw a lot little trinkets and explored the entire store.Never felt rushed or pressured to buy anything.

Love this store. The staff seem quite happy and are very helpful. Many of the people who work there are quite talented in their own right. It’s a lot of fun to go and “discover“ little treasures.

Huge selection of beads. Good supply of crystals. Fair prices. Great place to indulge your hobbies

Cool store but really cool owners. I was in a jam with finding a parking spot for my RV and he helped me out, which he didn’t have to. Thanks again, I’ll be sure to visit again!

What a fun cool experience to go to this place! An eclectic mix of merchandise consisting of beads of all sorts, interesting collectors items, unique jewelry, and supplies for the jeweler in you. You cannot beat the selection of beads! Vintage trade beads, glass beads, stone beads and anything else that you cant find in hobby/craft stores youll find here. Engaging staff are ready to help you find your selection.

Great place for the rock collector! Found some great pieces to display and reasonable priced! Lots of beads for the jewlery maker too. Would recommend and will return. Have a few fossil s displayed as well. Cool place!!

The staff were amazing, I LOVE that store. It has a wide selection of beads and crystals!

We went there last year and were back!! The owner was so helpful and knowledgable. I really enjoyed talking to her and spending money in her shop!!!

Wonderful shop! Lots to look at in every price range. Mostly beading and supplies but also premade jewelry that was gorgeous! There was everything from trinkets to fossils and gems, it was almost overwhelming to take it all in. The atmosphere was very inviting and the staff was friendly. Its a small shop but still took my daughter and I almost half an hour to look at everything!

Just wanted to thank you for being an unexpected improvement to our summer trip. Your displays and conversation got us interested in ERIC slag rocks. You gifted one to my son, named Eric. Very kind. We then spent the next evening in Elk River, a place we had never been and very much enjoyed. BTW, this was after visiting with some butterflies (GT Butterfly House & Bug Zoo: Home). Your two businesses should be linked, Im guessing you have some similar clients. In the end, we did find a few pieces of ERIC rock. Next time well return with our snorkels! Anyways, as Im putting away the summer memories, I wanted to say thanks for sending us off in a great direction. Your store is full of inspiration.

Lots of beads very helpful employees that will go the extra mile to get what you want or need. Beautiful jewelry for sale and real stones as well. Bead lovers paradise...❤️❤️

Great i bought a lot the stuff is cheap and cool!!!

A locally owned bead and jewelry store. They have unique beads, pendants, stones, & Jems. They have all the supplies for making your own jewelry, necklaces and bracelets, or if you would rather buy something already made they have stuff ready to buy and wear. A lot of local agates that you would find in the great lakes region. The workers are very friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable. Id recommend this establishment if you want something original and or unique. :-)

Frequently racist and otherwise insensitive to Native American patrons. The beads are decent quality but overpriced compared to other brick-and-mortar bead stores in MI, and WAY overpriced compared to online bead stores in MI. Find somewhere better to buy from.

Fabulous selection, helpful staff. Lets make jewelry.

Great little shop for the rock collector and for visitors looking for local rocks and fossils to take home with them from their trip to Traverse City.They have a nice selection of jewelry and beading selection for people who make jewelry.Staff is helpful in finding just what you need.

Great selection! Very helpful and knowledgeable owner.

Huge selection of stones and jewels. Prices seem fair for my limited knowledge. My girlfriend really likes it and she is more into this stuff.

Awesome little beading store. Lots of nice carved stones, sliced polished geo-discs and all manner of jewelry making beads, tools and materials. Can pick beads individually, in small bags or in strings of same type, size & color.

Older short hair lady, and owners daughter are very snooty. Kept rolling eyes and gave off a rude personality. Will not ever go back. Nice tourist trap though.

Wonderful shop staffed by wonderful people. I have been making, showing and selling handcrafted beaded jewelry for 17 years, so i have visited Many bead boutiques throughout Michigan. This one has stood out as a favorite for me such that i happily make the 4 hour drive up from downstate to see what new treasures the proprietors have dug up to delight their patrons and am never disappointed! My most recent pilgrimage happened to coincide with an unseasonable and unreasonably awful snow storm, and while the owners were kind enough to their employees to forgo business and close up shop for the day in the name of safety, they were also generous enough to personally open up their doors for me towards the end of the day once road conditions allowed it, after i reached out via their Facebook page to express my dismay at not being able to get in for a peek after coming so far. A broad range of quality materials to satisfy many styles (or just many moods if your like me). Competitive prices with the option to buy individual beads or a whole strand, and an unbeatable hospitality that goes well beyond basic customer service. Top notch! Love, love, love Nawbin Beads & Curiosities! 💗

Great selection of beads and stones including many items that relate to jewelry making. Also many lovely finished products for sale.

My favorite place for jewelry supplies, but when I have time I like to look at all the neat vintage and interesting stuff that they have. Also, the people are always friendly and helpful.

Not a bad place to check out. Lots of misc. beads for any type of beadwork.

Cool selection and friendly staff.

I was visiting Traverse City for work and stopped in here to see if they had any Petoskey stone. I asked the staff and they happily showed me the wide range they had. In the end I got a beautifully polished Petoskey stone pendant which was hand-made by the artists in-store. They were very friendly - well worth the visit!

Really nice rock and crystal selection. Cool little shop

Lots of different stones, jewelry, and beads.

Very unusual and interesting place with great variety of stones and jewelry. Very friendly and inexpensive.

Best place to get petosky, fordite, and lealand blue jewelry and beads!Nawbin is the best combination of bead store and curio shop. The employees are really helpful and they know a lot about making stuff. You can find wood, stone, bone, crystal, metal, and glass beads. They also have a lot of little artifacts like silver Buddhas and coins and lots of natural agates, crystals and mineral specimens.

Nice store, well laid out, great variety and open to 6 p.m.

I always discover new ideas for projects. The staff is helpful and nice.
