Item Description

Winning bidder will receive a $10 Gift Certificate to spend at specialty Bead Shop, The Pear Tree, located in Coolidge Corner.

About The Pear Tree:

For more than twenty years the original Pear Tree was a Coolidge Corner landmark, selling international arts and crafts, fine art, furniture, clothing, and jewelry personally picked by the owners during their extensive world travels. Within The Pear Tree was a full service bead counter which carried tools, supplies and an eclectic mixture of contemporary beads, along with rare, vintage, and ethnic beads procured directly from traders across the globe.

Fortunately, when the original Pear Tree closed its doors, the bead shop was saved. It was moved down the street and was taken over by Tania, a long time employee, who greatly expanded the selection while maintaining the original commitment to quality. The new Pear Tree still has an amazing selection of contemporary, vintage, and ethnic beads, ethnic jewelry, custom-made jewelry, tools, supplies, a helpful and knowledgable staff, jewelry repair services, and a full range of classes which take place every week. The store has also retained the same foreign and local traders and has acquired new contacts to bring you the best quality items while still keeping the prices low.

On March 1, 2007 Tania moved The Pear Tree back onto the main street to the current address at 1298 Beacon St., where the shop has been thriving in its new home. The atmosphere at this location is warm and inspiring. Its an even larger bead store now, with yet more stock to choose from and space to sit down and work on projects.

Please browse through the website to view the bead and jewelry galleries, get directions to the store, and see a full listing of courses and seasonal schedules. Or, just come to the store and the friendly staff will be glad to assist you with everything from design ideas to which tool will work best for your job.
