Escondido Bead & Design

A Curated Marketplace of Jewelry, Gemstones, Vintage & Creative Materials Comes to Escondido April 17–19

Escondido, CA – The Escondido Bead & Design Show returns April 17–19 to the California Center for the Arts, Escondido for three vibrant days celebrating craftsmanship, materials, and creative discovery.

Bringing together jewelry artists, beadmakers, gemstone specialists, vintage dealers, textile designers, and creative suppliers, the show offers a thoughtfully curated marketplace that appeals to both dedicated makers and curious shoppers alike. This year’s event expands into both the Ballroom and Gallery at the Center for the Arts, creating an even larger and more dynamic marketplace experience.

Attendees can browse handcrafted jewelry, rare gemstones, artisan beads, antique and vintage jewelry, artwear, distinctive components, handcrafted accessories, and creative supplies. From bohemian statement pieces and collectible vintage finds to specialty materials for designers and jewelers, the show offers treasures for collectors, stylists, artists, and anyone drawn to unique, well-made objects.

For jewelry designers and creative makers, Escondido Bead & Design is a sourcing destination — featuring artisan beads, lapidary tools, specialty findings, and distinctive materials rarely found in traditional retail environments. For collectors and design-minded shoppers, it offers beautifully crafted pieces presented in an inviting and artful setting.

In addition to shopping, visitors can enjoy live demonstrations and select hands-on workshops throughout the weekend, offering insight into traditional and contemporary techniques while fostering connection within the creative community.
