While visiting my sister in Modesto, she mentioned a special crystal and bead shop that she would…read morelove to take us to while we're in town. Beads of Contentment did just as the name promises, and much more! Holly greeted us as we entered, and she didn't even bat an eye as my enthusiastic toddler made her way through all the treasures that happened to be at her eye level. We had a decent sized group of each age, and we came at the right time for us to comb through the store and all find things we loved! We planned to make our own malas and found wonderfully priced strings of stones and all sorts of different strings, glass beads, metal accessories, tumbled stones, bells, and bags, and trinkets galore. What a lovely store ran by such a gem of a person, Holly was so helpful and kind as she interacted with each of us. Her prices are very fair, and her reason being so that many won't feel turned away from finding what they're meant to! For myself, I went with a string of fluorite, lavender jade, and phosphosiderite, and a gorgeous rose carved fresh water pearl to make my mala. I cannot wait to come back to this store and purchase more beads and visit with Holly again. If you find yourself in the area and you are looking for a piece of magic either for yourself or a loved one, check out Beads of Contentment you'll be sure to find something very special.

Then this is your place and they come with a hefty price tag. As I am deeply in the rock community, I was blown away with 10,000% mark up these guys do. Well, its more of a 700 - 1,100% mark up to be real. I was holding very small smokey towers that were marked at $450+ that I can buy direct from Brazil for $19 (plus shipping) and I'm not even exaggerating. A Lemurian point for $650 that I can buy for $50 in Brazil direct. I knew better and walked out empty handed. But, I can see how someone who doesn't know better might think they are getting a good deal. They run specials like, 50% off cut base amethyst. Or, 70% off pieces $2,000 or more. But, when you do the math, even with the discounts, you are still "over paying" per kilo. I only buy if the math makes sense. And the math doesn't make sense here. Beautiful store though. And super friendly staff that can chat up about rocks.

Megan, the shop owner is so sweet and helpful. If you're having trouble deciding on what to get, let her help you! There's also an option to have her intuitively draw a crystal for you by the register, which is pretty cool. I've purchased crystals for myself and as gifts for friends. I've also bought an aquamarine ring (my birthstone) which I absolutely adore. Love the selection here! I've stopped by a couple of times during downtown's Thursday night block parties and the energy in this shop is always so refreshing. Come inside and support this little shop of wonders

They staff is passionate and knowledgeable about the makers whose work they carry, and they carry such a wide selection of unique items by local artisans, as well as by global artisans. Most of the items I have purchased at Shady Lane fall under the category of jewelry, but I have also been very pleased with their selection of offbeat, small-maker clothing and outerwear. I appreciate that I can buy holiday gifts for a wide range of family members, from babies to adults, under one roof. A typical visit for me involves spending between ten and ninety minutes poring over their collection of Trollbeads (IYKYK). Then I move on to the artisan jewelry, the crystals, and the small woodworking (think jewelry boxes). And then, when possible, I blow kisses to the little dog behind the counter! I've also been to a few of their special events over the years, including a PassionArt Designs glass bead extravaganza.
