Designed as a relaxing European retreat, Praha Beads and Jewelry is a small "bead boutique" located 1 1/2 blocks South of King Street and the Potomac River. We specialize in carrying partial and full strand AAA semi-precious gemstones and freshwater pearls. Many are sold per bead. We also carry a wonderful selection of handmade glass beads from all over the world, including Venice, Italy. The boutique also carries the Praha Jewelry Design line of handcrafted jewelry. Weekly classes are offered for beginner jewelry makers. We offer a range of "Choose Your Own Backing" earrings--earrings already designed, but for more personalization, YOU can choose the backing that you prefer!
