Chevron Trading Post & Bead Co - Bead store in Asheville - 40 N Lexington Ave, USA

I came upon this store while exploring the area with my boyfriend, as we had been visiting from out of state. When we entered I was amazed with how warm and inviting the atmosphere was. They have so many varieties of gorgeous and unique beads to choose from! I was there for over an hour just browsing through everything. I really didn’t want to leave. The employees were also very friendly and patient with me when answering any questions I had. They even lit the fireplace, in front of their seating area, for my boyfriend while he waited for me. I was also very delighted to learn that they also have an online shop as well. Still, I can’t wait to come back and visit the store again!

I told my husband that I was just going to take a quick look at this store and would be back out asap. Well I didn't expect there to be the most beautiful, well kept aquarium in there! Out had such gorgeous coral in it. The girl at the register said they've had it for about 15 years and the yellow tang is almost that old too! They have lots and lots of different types of beads, perfect for anyone interested in making jewelry. They also had some glass pieces, the sides of which had been rounded/dulled to look like sea glass. They also had pieces of abalone shell. Both cost 20 and 25 cents per gram. I got some of each. There was also a girl in there who had her beautiful cat, Renley on a leash! I've only seen that twice before and was smitten with him! They also had a gorgeous fireplace that is worth admiring!

Oh my god, this STORE! Seriously, why aren't there bead stores like this in Raleigh?! Michael's, I'm so sorry 🙏🏻, but your bead selection can't even compare. This store doesn't sell just mass produced beads, but unique, one-of-a-kind, HANDMADE beads from around the world as well as antique beads!!! 💕💕💕 If you want to make your jewelry special then this is the place to go. My wife and I love this store and we will definitely be coming back whenever we visit Asheville.

A must stop if you're in Asheville! A very unique selection of beautiful things. Everyone is always so nice and helpful.

Super cute local bead store! We took a workshop to make bracelets with a group and it was so much fun! The instructor was so helpful in her guidance and tips for types of beads, weight, and aesthetics!

I loved this amazing bead shop! The staff members are incredibly friendly and super knowledgeable about the inventory and what may be needed for a certain craft. The prices are extremely reasonable and I'd be surprised if you didn't leave with exactly what you set out to find :) if not better!

Really neat bead store, had a lot of typical choices and some unique ones too, seed beads and antique glass beads. It was definitely a vibey place, in a chill hippy kinda way

My daughter loves this place. It has a wide collection of beautiful beads from around the world. The aquarium has live coral and anemone, which compliments the gorgeous color of the fish. The two friendly dogs were a plus to the already 5-star review.
