Beadworks Store in Norwalk, CT

Beadworks Norwalk, the flagship store of the Beadworks family, proudly stood at the corner of Washington and Water Streets in the heart of the historic SoNo neighborhood from 1987 until December 2022. As a cornerstone of the vibrant SoNo neighborhood, Beadworks Norwalk was more than just a store; it was a hub for creativity and inspiration. The store’s dedication to providing top-quality gemstone beads, charms, gold and sterling silver findings, and jewelry chains made it a go-to destination for both professional jewelry designers and avid hobbyists.

As Beadworks Norwalk closed its doors in December 2022, the company would like to express its deepest gratitude to the creative community of Fairfield County for their unwavering support throughout its 35-year journey. The bonds forged in this historic neighborhood will continue to inspire Beadworks as it transitions to an online platform, ensuring that the company’s legacy of providing high-quality materials and exceptional service to the jewelry-making community lives on.
