AVP Jewelry and Beads
We are a bead and jewelry supply shop. We offer a wide variety of jewelry making classes for kids and adults. We also do custom jewelry repair.
Our name means “Artistic Variety Paradise of Jewelry and Beads” We are very happy to announce the grand opening of our second location within Blue Buddha Boutique. Located at 1127 N Granville Ave. Chicago, Il 60660.
With over a decade of experience in the field, Ana V Pizarro and Diana Ortega opened their first location at 3960 N. Elston Ave. Chicago, Il 60618 in April 2014. We were the former employees of Caravan Bead of Chicago.

Making jewelry has helped us as a way of relaxation and to clear our minds. We always feel accomplished when we finish a necklace, bracelet or pair of earrings; therefore, we believe that our shop is an important place for children and adults of any ages.

Jewelry can hold significant sentimental value for many people. Many memories come to us when we make a piece of jewelry and give it to our loved ones. We have seen many jewelry designs from children, parents, brides, and friends. When they come to our shop we help them and guide them. We also remind them that their imagination is their limit.

Ana V Pizarro has been a jewelry instructor. First at Caravan Beads of Chicago, then at AVP Jewelry and Beads. She has also taught a workshop at the Harold Washington Chicago Public Library. She has created several designs and her ” Wonder Woman Cuff” featured in the Bead and Button Magazine. Her project was also published in the book, Best Projects of a Year.

Throughout the years, we have learned many jewelry-making techniques. Some include: stringing, wire working, knotting, bead weaving, chainmaille, soldering, metal work, resin, crocheting, enameling, and etching. Each of those help us everyday to repair jewelry, and to teach several classes to our students. The most important thing is to be active and productive; therefore, learning a new technique can help you create and expand your knowledge to make one of a kind pieces of jewelry.

We are very excited about opening our shop on Granville because we are within another creative place, Blue Buddha Boutique. I’ve known Rebeca Mojica and most of her crew for many years. I think they are my family. When you visit us, you will feel like you are at home because of our family environment!
We also love the fact that we are so close to the Granville train station. That makes it easier for our customers to visit us. Moreover, the Edgewater neighborhood has so much to offer as far as other businesses that our customers can go too.
