​A World of Beads and the new Gem Bar opened on Vine in the revitalized Over-The-Rhine (OTR) July 2018. Family-owned and operated.  Also home to Mandalynn Jewelry Designs. Serving the Tri-State with the opening of their first bead store in 1992 and the Hyde Park store in 2002. In addition to beads and finding , they sell rocks & minerals offer beautiful local artisan one-of-a-kind handcrafted jewelry, custom designs, wedding jewelry, classes and jewelry repair services. The Hyde Park store is closed, and we look forward to seeing our dedicated beading customers at our OTR Gem Bar!
