While I was visiting Albuquerque, my pearls broke, and I decided to find a place to have my pearls restrung. I wanted to have knots tied between each pearl to make it more secure. I found The Bearded Iris hidden away in a strip mall. When I walked into the store, I was greeted by several friendly women. I met the owner, Danielle, and told her what I was looking for - - someone to repair my black pearl necklace. She said, "I can do that". She agreed to tie a knot between each pearl--I wish I would have had that done originally. I wasn't going to be in town for long, and she was able to meet my deadline! The price was reasonable, and she did a great job!  The Beaded Iris is a bead shop and much more. TBI has all types of beads 8and beading supplies. They have beautiful beads from all over the world: the Czech Republic, Africa, Italy, and Japan--to name a few. They also have beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and broaches. Besides beads, they have classes: knitting, beading, and wire wrapping. The Beaded Iris is a place to join together with others to create works of beauty--"like poetry when it comes from your soul". read more
