Queenstown is a great place to buy various jewelry items like jadestone pieces, carvings made out of bones and traditionally crafted Maori designs. The Bead Shop in Queenstown is located at Stanley Street. There are three Bead Shops in New Zealand's South Island. This Queenstown Bead Shop is the first ever among them. It was set up in Queenstown in the month of August in 2001. The shop was established by Lee Eliott and John Menzies. The objective behind setting up the Bead Shop was to enable people of all ages to create unique wearable artworks by themselves. The shop was materialized following the hard work and dedication of the founders who banked on the availability of beads from different parts of the world and the requisite tools that would enable people to design their choice. As the Bead Shop gained in popularity, it had to be expanded. Eventually, the other two Bead Shops were set up in Christchurch and Dunedin.

The Bead Shop is equipped with friendly staff, experienced enough to create beautifully hand-crafted designs. Shoppers will find a huge stock of a variety of beads. Besides, there are jewelries and gift items designed out of Paua Shell, Pink Mussel Shell and Greenstone (Jade).
