Welcome to Gumdrops & Beads, a creative beads boutique in the heart of Glendora, California. We specialize in unique beads, including beads made from recycled materials like paper, and jewelry-making supplies, along with curated findings, tools, and materials for makers of all levels.

Whether you are brand new to jewelry making or an experienced designer, Gumdrops & Beads is a place to create, learn, and connect.

Classes & Workshops

Classes are perfect for beginners, hobbyists, and anyone looking to explore their creative side.

A Space for Caregivers

At Gumdrops & Beads, we recognize the dedication and emotional labor of in-home caregivers—those who support and care for others every day.

As a small way of giving back, we are proud to offer a 20% caregiver discount to in-home caregivers. More importantly, we want our boutique to be a place where caregivers can step away, slow down, and focus on themselves, even if just for a little while.

Our small classes, welcoming environment, and hands-on creativity are designed to:

  • Provide a calm, restorative experience

  • Encourage connection with others who understand caregiving life

  • Offer a creative outlet that supports mental and emotional well-being

Whether you come to take a class, browse beads, or simply enjoy the space, Gumdrops & Beads is here for you.

Caregiver discount available with verification. Please ask in store for details.
