Such a beautiful store with wonderful energy! The staff was super sweet, friendly and helpful. One of the best bead shops I have been to :)
Incredible crystals & beads and the prices cant be beat!! High quality pieces, so you are not sacrificing quality for cost here. And their Facebook lives are the best! Such a great sense of humour, its so entertaining and always has cool vibes playing in the background. I have purchased several pieces and will be a long time customer.
Amazing selection. Staff are always super friendly and kind when I would come in. I was so thankful I was able to get curbside pick up quickly which saved me when I ran out of specific beads I needed to finish a gift.
Iguana has beautiful stone beads and findings. But what I found here that I dont find everywhere is a great selection of rare and unusual cut stones and cabochons. Best of all though, is the owner Crissy and her mom who run the shop and treat every visitor with such attentive service and interest in their work that it makes it worth the drive from waterloo. They are both super knowledgeable about their products and able to help you select the most appropriate materials for your project. I was a bit indecisive and they were so patient and helpful with me, Crissy even allowed me to shop a little bit after their closing time. The service was exceptional!
This is simply a wonderful shop on so many levels.Chrissy has beautifully restrung some pearl bracelets for me adding sterling silver, and most recently restrung and hand knotted a Mala I had, adding her personal touch with the addition of some more silver stations, and a gorgeous Buddha I had purchased from the store.Ive also purchased some of the finished jewelry for sale - they have a beautiful selection!Iguana beads is not just a bead store as the name might suggest.Chrissy offers everything from healing crystals, smudging kits, finished jewelry (earrings, bracelets, rings, cufflinks, necklaces etc) and then of course a huge variety of items to make jewelry...wonderfully unusual curated items - lots of eye candy to delight, and many wonderful gift items.As another post suggests...Chrissy and her mother are very thoughtful, patient and engaged with their clientele - they really care about their customers and providing a service well. This is not your average store by any means, and at a time when we all need kindness and calm, I urge you to visit.Even if youre not into making your own jewelry - Iguana beads offers so much more!
I placed an online order and it was ready very quickly (less then 24 hours). When I picked it up in the store the lady working at the cash was very nice and when I opened my package a got a few extra stones/rocks in my order! Thank you so much, I will be coming back!
I Love Iguana beads Owner is wonderful and always willing to help you. Iguana has so many options to choose from in diffrent variety of beads, and gemstones. A great place to go ❤
Really nice staff
This is hands down my favourite store!! They have everything you could need, and theyre super helpful. Prices are reasonable and their quality is high. The staff is wonderful and customer service is great.
The girls were super helpful and extremely nice! I am so happy I found this store!
Soo many options at great prices. Staff are very nice!
Love this place. Always leave with more then I came in for haha. Check them out on Facebook!!
Amazing bead store in Cambridge! Found this place by accident but as soon as I walked in my heart skipped a beat! Super friendly service, the girls are awesome! The best part for me is that they offer wholesale prices for registered businesses, so I keep my overhead low and my money local! They also offer jewelry making classes and I hope one day to see them offer pour painting classes - the owner makes all the wonderful art on their walls right in their basement!
Theyre only open 2 days per week. Beautiful selection of stone beads
Great prices and service great finds for many crafting loves and I was happily surprised at the selection of chainmail since I havent had alot of luck with size availability at other craft stores
I was a kid in a candy store when I went here. Fantastic selection great prices and great customer service. They even taught me a new skill or two
Had a fantastic day in the Mala Bead class with instructor Taylor. Best birthday ever!October 2020...still enjoying and shopping with Crissy online and at the shop. The best bead shop and the best service. I love Iguana beads!
Our Girl Guide unit had a great time here!! The ladies were kind, helpful, and patient with a herd of 9 - 11 year old girls! Would highly recommend Iguana Beads!!

I took a bead bracelet class and it was terrific! The people there are so friendly and helpful.
They are very friendly and helpful owners. I enjoy going in just to browse sometimes.
Incredibly helpful staff. I’ve received so much positive reinforcement and tutelage; which has given me the confidence to embrace my creativity through jewellery making. They offer fun, unique and well prepared classes; providing the opportunity to learn various techniques, and work with a wide range of medium. The store is well stocked with beads, gem stones, findings, tools etc...; and their online store offers discounts on popular items.
Great selection of beads, and findings. Lots of tools and plenty of sterling silver.
Beautiful selection of beads/gems. Crissy and Taylor are very friendly and knowledgable. I always find exactly what I am looking for with each project I do and when they didnt have what I needed, Crissy went out of her way to get them for me! I could spend hours in there!

My bead home away from home! Crissy and Taylor do a great job on displays, media, travelling to shows, lining up instructors etc. All contribute to awesome inventory and a place for all your beading/jewellery making needs!
If you need item for making different kinds of jewelry, this is the perfect place to go.
