The 20th Pasadena Bead & Design Show begins on Thursday July 27, and goes through Sunday July 30, at the Hilton Pasadena. It is a 4-day celebration of handcraft and jewelry design –bringing together artistic beads, gemstones, one-of-a-kind jewelry, designer clothing, jewelry-making supplies, and vintage items. Visitors to the show may shop and buy directly from artists and merchants at excellent prices.

More than three thousand show attendees are expected to participate in the dynamic visual experience of Pasadena Bead & Design Show –which combines rare products of meticulous detail, natural materials, and sensuous colors, with the ambiance of a handcrafter’s studio, with live demonstrations of handmade skills and techniques.
