This is an absolutely wonderful store with amazing staff. There are SO many choices, and I feel like a kid in a candy store when I go in. They have quality items that have lasted me for many years. I got my wedding jewelry from Ayla’s and it was stunning. I was offered several different options and everything was customized for me. The staff is professional and friendly, and I enjoy shopping here. 5 stars and I highly recommend coming here for all of your beading and jewelry needs!

Absolutely stunned by the overpriced labor to assist in restringing four pieces... and I did most the work. I was billed 22 for him to tie four knots and dab four dots of glue! I was not made aware of the pricing for anything until I was billed at the end of my visit ... which made me forego an additional purchase (meant to be two, though I forgot one due to the length of time I spent in the store). I recently had a couple of other pieces restrung by gracious artists in another location. Contrary to my experience at Ayala's, the others asked for a menial payment for the replacement elastic, but only after I asked them what I could pay for their help. They didn't charge for \labor\. You'll certainly understand when I don't make due on my promise to return to your store. UPDATE: One of the pieces I restrung at Ayla's has already broken. These pieces are very dear to me, so it certainly wasn't for lack of care. My disappointment in this business grows. Moreover, no response or acknowledgement of what they've done, though this post has been public for several months. Sad.
