We’re absolutely *ecstatic* to have been a part of fashion & NYC icon Sarah Jessica Parker’s Met Gala ensemble! Those extra long Freshwater Pearls are a decadent dream and must be an absolute delight for SJP to play with style-wise. Craving a similar look, or to make it your own with a sprinkle of different beads (or whatever you please)— that’s what we’re here for! Love the shots she posted herself, and from Vogue’s article about the look. Swoon!

We have SO MANY new ornaments, and a bunch yet to come in, that made it difficult to create a single photo to capture a sample of the fantastic variety that we have. So I made three! And there may be more to come, because this only scratches the surface of the over 1000 ornaments that we carry! Follow the link to explore and purchase your faves!

And just like a storm, September has been wiped away and poof (!) it’s October! For Wednesday Addams, it’s always Spooky Season, but for the rest of us — it’s officially arrived! Halloween and Day of the Dead are on the way, and Beads of Paradise NYC is the *perfect* place to shop for the season (and, who are we kidding, year round). We have Wednesday rocking some Black Opal stretch bracelets — we think their dark galactic shimmer suits her look perfectly; as a bonus, Opal is the birthstone for the month! #wednesdayaddams #wednesdaynetflix #wednesdayaddamsedit #jennaortega #jennaortegaedit #spookyseason #halloween #halloweendecor #halloweencostume #dayofthedead #diadelosmuertos #octoberholidays #opal #blackopal #blackopaljewelry #opalbeads #octoberbirthstone #birthstonejewelry #blackismyhappycolor #blackismyfavoritecolor #gothgirl #gothaesthetic #fashion #styleinspo #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise

Oh, hello there! It’s been too long since I’ve posted, but it’s for a great reason — a HUGE amount of new beads on the website (and in shop!). For the past few months, I’ve been a busy, busy bee plowing through bag after bag filled with more bags each containing brand new gemstone strands and photographing and editing them for the website to look true to their color and give you an excellent idea of how they look like in person. I've also added ALL of the beautiful glass beads from out 60% off table that I showed off in May. And just after I finished all of those, BoP shop owner Brian came back from his overseas shopping with even MORE amazing beads and things to photograph. But! I just *had* to take a moment away from the photography and editing to show off all of our new goodies and let you know that more is to come! Visit us online or in shop!

SO I was doing a lap around the shop and did an absolute textbook double take when I stumbled upon the bottom two and a half shelves of this case! They did *not* used to look like this! INDEED — Brand! New! Glimmering Glass Beads in ALL of the colors!! All 50% off! Come on over and live your mermaidcore, barbiecore, rainbowcore, y2kcore, fill-in-the-blank cord, YOUcore beading / jewelry-making / jewelry-wearing / crafty dreams!

Free to be(ad) you and me! Beads are so much fun because you can do SO much with them… including creating fun images, like this American Flag created out of Coral, Glass, Pearls, Lapis Lazuli and Sterling Silver “stars”! Woohoo little beaded “pixels”! Our storefront will be closed tomorrow, July 4th, but our online store is always open for your beading and beautification needs. Hope you get to spend the holiday exactly as you’d like to!

I know, I know, posting has been slow as I’ve been a busy bee photographing and uploading new bead strands to the website, BUT! It’s now JULY, which means it’s time for a new birthstone, and you totally deserve to ogle our gorgeous array of Rubies, the gemstone of the month. As always, we have fantastic strands of the stunning gemstone, loose / individual beads (because sometimes you only need a few), ready made one-of-a-kind Ruby jewelry so you can purchase and go, AND we can also make custom jewelry to your specifications. Perfect gifts? Yessiree!

Happy Father’s Day! Whether your Father and/or Father figure has been with you since birth, or come into your life at any point in your life, we’ll celebrate their influence and their love alongside you! We bet the iconic Jean-Luc Picard would love to come in with his recently discovered son, Jack, and have a bonding experience exploring our shop and perhaps combining some of their treasures collected around the universe with our beads, cords and findings, to create one-of-a-kind jewelry and keepsakes! #picard #picardseason3 #jeanlucpicard #captainpicard #jeanlucpicardedit #jackcrusher #edspeleers #edspeleersedit #patrickstewart #patrickstewartedit #happyfathersday #fathersday #fathersdaygifts #fathersonbonding #fatherfigure #customjewelry #mensjewelry #diyjewelry #diyjewelrymaking #mensfashion #menstyle #mensgifts #fashion #style #fathersdaygifts #happyplace #paradise #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise

Oh, hello there, June! Time to welcome in the month with a celebration of the birthstone of the month — Pearl! We always have a fantastic selection Freshwater Pearl bead strands, loose beads, and handmade one of a kind Peal jewelry, but all you June babies are in super luck because we *just* got in a new shipment of spectacular Peal bead strands! I’m hustling down in the basement to get them up online, but in the meantime, love on them on here, come on into the shop, or shoot us an email if any of these catch your eye and you *must* have them asap.

At long last, we are SO beyond thrilled to announce our new bounty of seed beads in ALL of the colors — from richly saturated rainbow, to peaceful earthy, to dazzling metallics and everything in between! Talk about a Sunday Funday! What would you make with them?
