This is the last brick and mortar bead store in all of Ireland. It's tiny, but they pack a lot in the space. I bout a lot of lovely seed beads - some in colors I hadn't found before. I'm so glad I did because I used them to create seed beads bracelets for people across Ireland! I strongly suggest anyone who beads, especially seed beads, take a look. I'm pretty sure you won't walk out empty handed! read more

Lovely crystal and jewelry shop! Staff is helpful and the store is well stocked. Will visit again. read more

Yellow Brick Road - Various crystals - Jewelry Near Me - Dublin, D

If you like to make jewelry this seems like a good place to check out. Personally I come in here every now and then to pick up crystals. I love crystals, looking at them, holding them, collecting them. Eventually I'll probably use some of the ones I have and make them into jewelry, but I haven't gotten into that yet. I just know whenever I go into this store I find some crystal that's really pretty and that I like, so I buy them. They have some raw crystals, some tumbled/polished ones, and even some small beaded ones (to use for making bracelets or necklaces) I'd call this more of a jewelry making shop than a new age shop, but they do have a small selection of tarot/oracle decks. The store is fairy small, but has a nice selection of items. I'm sure those who know jewelry making can attest to those items than I can, but they seem to have what you'd need to get started making your own jewelry. read more

I'm one of those really annoying customers that puts my hands in the buckets of beads every time I come into this store. I never actually buy anything, I just walk around looking at beads (there are a lot of different and fascinating types!!) I've never been patient enough to sit down to all this bead-making business, but I appreciate that it's a fine art. Yellow Brick Road supplies all the know-how and the equipment for making your jewellery making dreams a reality. They also have some brilliant creations by past students in a glass cabinet. There's a really sparkly, rainbow coloured one that always catches my eye when I'm in the store. The girls are right, Yellow Brick Road is a little more hippie and new-agey than your usual beading store, but I guess that's where it got the name? I like that it has the collection of books because if you happen to be in this store with an actual bead enthusiast, you can bet your bottom dollar you're going to be in there for a while. Fossicking through the swarowski crystal beads definitely has its use-by date, so when you're all out of inspiration and your friend is only half way through picking her fave 100 beads, head for the books. read more

Yellow Brick Road - Jewelry Near Me - Dublin, D

The Yellow Brick Road has existed for over 20 years. It sells a variety of different beads, jewellery-making equipment, crystals and other artsy things. A friend of mine takes a jewellery-making class here and loves the place. It costs 250 Euro for an 8 week course but you get all the materials for free. Every Thursday, the shop welcomes jewellers from all levels to drop in for advice or for a chat. The trained staff invites artists to finish their projects in their lab. It's more of a communal event than a class. read more

Yellow Brick Road - Jewelry Near Me - Dublin, D

I love this place. It's small but has everything you need. The staff is very nice & helpful. It's a very busy area filled with tourists. So if you're one of the tourist it's convenient to get to while you're seeing the sights. Next time I fly 6000 miles I will definitely visit it again. read more

See all

I don't know why I come here. The staff treat customers with all the warmth of public servants at the Road Safety Authority. Case in point: When I came in this afternoon there was a woman standing at the counter trying to return something. "These are obviously defective," she said. "See, if you look here they can't even be threaded." The sales-automaton kept repeating: "You will have to talk to the owner." The woman tried again: "When is he coming back?" "Oh probably tomorrow." "Can't you do anything for me?" "You'll have to talk to the owner." (lather, rinse, repeat) I half-expected the lady to hit the counter with her fist because the salesgirl was being so stubborn, but the customer apparently had more class & decorum, and simply walked out. They won't make a deal with you at this store. Want to buy rocks or beads in quantity? Answer A) You'll have to talk to the owner, or B) Prices are as marked. Translation: No Deal. It's like they don't care about selling anything. I have yet to receive my call back regarding the agate crystal I tried to order 6 months ago. The staff assured me they would "talk to the owner" and call me if/when they could order one. I won't hold my breath any longer. read more

I love this shop. I have been visiting it for years now - at least since 2004, and I never leave empty handed. Every time I visit Dublin, a trip to Yellow Brick Road is on my to-do list, and this year was no exception. I was specifically looking for a polished rainbow moonstone to add to the collection on my desk, and as I haven't been able to find any locally, I was hoping Yellow Brick Road would deliver. And it did! The crystal and polished stone collection is top notch, and there are also small stone animal carvings, mineral and fossil specimens, and other assorted "new age" goods to be had; as well as jewelry, beads, beading supplies, and books all found in this interesting little store. It's like a combination of a bead store and a hippie/new age/metaphysical store all in one, which is right up my personal alley. As well as my rainbow moonstone, during my visit I also picked up some silver plated beads with celtic knots on them (the only place I have found these other than online), as well as a few metal bails with celtic knots on them. But fear not - if knots aren't your thing, there are many, many other beads, toggles, bails, etc. to be had. Prices aren't too bad - a bit higher than I'm used to paying in the states, but as most of the things I buy here are hard to find and would need to be shipped to me, I figure it all evens out. Plus, I genuinely enjoy the chance to browse around in the store. I've not found the salespeople to be particularly outgoing, but as I know what I'm looking for/what I want when I come in, I haven't needed any assistance, either. All in all, I'm definitely a fan, and can't wait to see what I'll find the next time I'm in Dublin! read more

I have been looking for a certain filigree finding for LITERALLY YEARS, and despite having lived in New York, I found them HERE!!! And, bulk discount if you buy 100 or more. This is a teeny but well organized space, scented with patchouli, and in need of a bit more lighting, but stuffed with findings, beads, crystals, and jewelry tools! Nice and helpful workers. Decent prices. read more

My only wish is that the premises were larger so to hold an even larger variety of useful items. I'll edit a more thorough review when I've dealt with the staff upon a more recent visit to the shop. My current rating is based off my past purchases with which I was satisfied with, however the staff may have been different. I'll be making two separate visits each for two particular items about which I'll report on the quality of the items and the manners of the staff etc. at some point over the next 3-4 weeks :) read more

I am kinda passing by few times. Actually someone reccomended to me this place. Staff is nice,loads of pearls,parking outside...it says loading.....but i am still parking there. Bus is passing by. Staff attentive,polite,always smiles. I was passing it today,got few bits,i got all the good energy,attitude,and goods and smiles with it. Keep up the good work,as people keep coming back,and so will i. read more

Recently I took up bracelet making as a little side hobby, so I went to this shop to do some bead shopping. I spend quite some time looking and picking out beads, and I took care to count them carefully and remember the price. When I came up to pay the person behind the counter was very rude, he asked me for a price on one of the charms I picked out, I told him the price and he wouldn't believe me, I had to walk him down to the container and point it out to him, this alone made me very uncomfortable. He didn't apologize or say anything, just nodded at me dismissively. He then proceeded with the rest of the beads I picked out. I picked out about 50 Svarowski crystals , which were 12 cent each, and I noticed that he had charged me 15 cent each for the beads. he also just crammed all the beads into one small bag. Certainly will not be going back ever or recommending, very expensive shop and very rude staff. read more

Small store but a nice selection of Celtic embellishments. The young lady was very helpful and patient with me.

Yellow Brick Road is a bead collector's and jewelry maker's heaven. It has everything needed to create your own designs, and a lovely selection of Japanese Miyuki and Delica seed beads. I always enjoy creating things while traveling and found myself missing some essentials while in Spain last year. Too bad Yellow Brick Road didn't have an offshoot in Madrid, as they had every item I had forgotten to pack---and more. Some nice Czech beads and an overall perfect selection of everything packed in to this little store. I ended up going back twice as it was so full of gems. The owner of the store is knowledgeable and kind and this bead store is a treasure. My friend, not a bead person, found some geological gifts here as well. read more

Yellow brick road does have a wide selection of beads,tools and clasps. However some can be extremely expensive. I would advise only experienced leaders who know what they are looking for to use this store, as the staff take advantage of novice beaders by selling more expensive items and they have been known to sell the wrong item which once bought can't be returned. So to be honest I would only use this store if I'm looking for some unusual beads or looking for some expensive clasps for a special piece read more

More new-agey than many of the other jewellery making suppliers around Dublin, Yellow Brick Road still has a great selection to choose from. Aside from all the usual beads and pendants, they probably have the best materials selection (wire, crimps etc) around. I'm a jewelley making freak, and my friends are sick of constantly getting handmade presents from me on birthdays, Christmas, graduations (basically any time it's a gift-giving occasion), but I think most girls particularly like looking at a bunch of pretty things. And that's essentially what this place is. They do go more for the crystals and angels thing than the other, more focused, shops, but somehow it works - even if it does mean that they've pinned people involved in such hobbies as some kind of hippies (whatever would give them that idea?!). read more

As a new beader I went into this shop to ask about their classes. The girl handed me a brochure as she walked into the room behind the till. I've never come across someone so rude. The shop is very small and everything is on top of each other. Luckily Beads and Bling accross the bridge were very friendly and have lots of products and room to move. I would definitely recommend Beads and Bling instead. read more

In my last visit to the shop. Asked for discount for items I was going to buy, straight away got yelled at by a lady there(presume a manager), although was talking and dealing with a another sales person. Had a feeling that the woman going to eat my head off, and all of that just for asking!!! Very rude, been going there for years, never thought the customer care was good, but this time it was just inappropriate on all levels !!! will bring my custom to the shop across from them. Very poor customer care, very disappointing read more
