Are you dreaming of an over-the-top statement necklace without a hefty price tag?  Enter Bidz, a self-service jewelry store where making your own accessories is almost too easy for comfort (accessory addict, anyone?). Bidz is stocked to the brim with everything from antique pendants to peacock feathers. Pieces range from cheap (a pack of 30 beads for $2) to slightly pricey, so set your own budget.

And if you leave your I.D. at the counter, you get free use of their workspace and tools in the back. Don’t know how to secure a clasp or string a bead? Bidz offers workshops for beginners and intermediates (averaging $25).

If you’re not so good with your hands, no need to fret. For just $5, the friendly and fashionable staff will make a simple piece for you. This service is perfect for those old pendants you have laying around your closet or Mom’s costume jewelry that’s in need of a little work. With chains under $1 a yard and lots of inexpensive additions, you’ve got nothing to lose.

Satisfy those glam cravings.
