What our customers are saying
You really can’t go wrong with Shelby & Kyra’s pieces! I own many and treasure each piece equally. They are unique, trendy, and exquisitely crafted!
My latest pieces are these gorgeous boho chic beaded hoops. They make me feel like a million dollars ...and I’m not even a fashion statement earring type of gal.
BUT these hoops are amazing and to add to their quality, they are super lightweight. They look gorgeous AND are kind to my ears. Win-win if you ask me.
Thank you Whimsy Beadworks. Keep up the amazing work.-Emma

Beautiful bracelet that I just love. The design is very intricate and the piece is well made. Great customer service as well. It was too short when it arrived and the designer re-did it for me for just the cost of shipping!! Very happy customer.

Just lovely! The stones are beautiful and the craftmanship is impressive. Great doing business with these women.

This is a great shop. I had been given a gift for Christmas, but just didn't like the type of chain it was on. I saw a great chain at this shop and contacted the owner. She responded very quickly and let me know that she could take off the charms from the bracelet and put them on the new chain I had picked out at her shop. She was very easy to communicate with and the entire transaction was incredibly quick. The quality is so much better than I had expected. I know what my daughters are getting for Mother's Day!

These mermaid earrings are gorgeous, and I highly recommend anybody thinking of purchasing them to get them. The picture online does not do them justice. They sparkle with movement, and I cannot wait to wear them. The craftsmanship is excellent, and when I was ordering, I struggled with which colour to purchase settling on the red pair. The customer service was unbelievable. When I ordered it, they messaged me soon after and advised it was dropped off and mailed and watched and advised the status crossing over the border. 100% satisfied with quality of product and customer service. Well done ladies and look forward to shopping here again.
