Back in July 2022, our friends at Soft Flex Company shared a beautiful feature on Jamie Yoshida, the creative soul and owner of The Bead Gallery in Honolulu. That post introduced Jamie to a global audience of bead lovers — her warmth, her aloha spirit, and her passion for jewelry-making left a lasting impression.
The Story Continues
Fast forward to today, and Jamie is still bringing joy, creativity, and community through The Bead Gallery. Our shop has grown, evolved, and continues to be a destination for beaders worldwide — whether you visit us in person in Honolulu or shop online from anywhere in the world.
We’re proud that the collaboration with Soft Flex showcased the spirit of aloha we bring into every kit, strand, and tutorial. But that was just the beginning. Since then, we’ve launched new gemstone mixes, exclusive kits, and expanded our library of beading tutorials on YouTube.
Looking Back, Moving Forward
If you missed the original Soft Flex feature, you can still read it here. It’s a snapshot of who Jamie was then — a passionate designer sharing her story. Today, that same passion has only deepened, with thousands of happy beaders joining our community each year.
“We create jewelry that connects you with who you are. These are talismans for life.” – Jamie Yoshida
