Island Bead Co.

Island Bead Co. is a locally owned bead shop in Palm Bay, Fla., not far from Malabar. Although this shop looks small form the outside, it has a massive selection of beads inside, as well as other supplies you need for putting the beads to use. People interested in learning what to do with all of those beads and how to turn them into jewelry and other art can sign up for various classes, such as wire wrap, chain maille and silversmith lessons. Island Bead Co. also holds a social "bead and blab" group on Thursday evenings, and the shop has a crew of regulars that visit. The beads here are reasonably priced, and if you are looking for something specific that they don't have here, they will try to help you locate it.
