| The Kiowa
Rose Store |
 |
Located
in the Historic Niles district of Fremont, you'll pick out
Kiowa Rose by the beautiful facade, the elegant display windows
and the big Art Nouveau sign in front. |

| Intricate
Detailing |
 |
When
you've had a chance to look closer, the delicate detail of
the pieces truly stand out. |
| A Rainbow
of Color |
 |
It's
when you actually enter the store that its finest features
become apparent... for instance, the impact of impeccably-sorted
merchandise, arrayed by color, type and function. |
Wonderful
People |
 |
The
very best thing about the Kiowa Rose store has
got to be the people you will find there. Rosie and her staff
truly know what they're doing, and they are generous with their
time and energy in answering questions and helping you to find
exactly what you're looking for - sometimes even when you're
not sure what that is. |
Art
Nouveau Styling |
 |
In
keeping with the store's facade and the whole Historic Niles
district, you will find elaborate pieces of beaded jewelry
done in Art Nouveau styling, as well as numerous pieces of
period furniture and artwork. |
| Intriguing
Manner of Display |
 |
Whenever
possible, pieces of the Art Nouveau period are used to display
items for sale. Display cabinets, antique furniture and stemware
are utilized to display Czech glass beads, precious metal findings
and all the other items necessary to the beading addict. |
| A Sense
of Color |
 |
It's
not often one finds a group of people who understand color
as thoroughly as Rosie's staff here at Kiowa Rose. From the
arrays of seed bead tubes to the rows of Czech glass bead strands,
arranged by color and styling, it's apparent that this is a
place where true artists work. Here's a fine example of using
the appropriate color to offset this lovely piece. |
| Astonishing
Array of Beads and Supplies |
 |
Row
upon row upon row of impeccably sorted strands of Czech glass
beads and tubes of seed beads, with trays of focal beads below...
and lovely vintage beadwork on the walls above... you'd swear
it was a museum. Thankfully, it's a beads and supply store! |
| Samples
of Class Projects |
 |
Even
the samples of the projects you can learn at Kiowa Rose are
attractively displayed in this unusual case by the register. |
