Welcome to High Strung, a full-service bead store located in the
Rockridge district of Oakland, CA. This is a delightful city
neighborhood full of some of the Bay Area's best restaurants and dozens
of unique shops.
Our
store offers a separate classroom where you can take a class,
have a beading
party or just sit and play with different designs.
We offer many beading services
: classes and parties, custom design, restringing and jewelry repair.
Our selection of beads is
ever-expanding as we are always in search of new and vintage
beads. Many one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry are for sale as
well as an eclectic selection of gift items including "objects d'art"
for the home.
BEADS ETC.
Our
inventory is
constantly being added to with new beads and findings. If you
come
into the store, you will always find a large selection of glass beads,
vintage German and Czech glass beads, semi-precious stones and
fresh-water pearls, Austrian crystal (including rare vintage shapes and
colors), base-metal spacers and charms, wood, resin and shell beads
and, of course, seed beads!
Behind the
counter we keep our
sterling silver and gold filled findings, spacers and charms.
We have
quite a selection - a variety of choices for creating and finishing off
your projects!
Other
"treats" in these cases include dazzling
venetian glass beads, antique Chinese rings and locks, sterling silver
and gold filled chain and a multitude of intriguing and unusual

SERVICES
Restringing can be done with or without knots. In addition,
we are able to re-glue, epoxy and wire-wrap broken jewelry.
Our staff of pro beaders is always ready for a challenge. We
can help you with the most basic jump-ring replacement to
reconstructing antique, intricate beadwork. We can also help
set you up to do your own repair work.
