This new location is in the "Jewelry District," where there is abundant parking and the neighborhood boasts many restaurants, cafes, delicatessens and other attractions such as the Children's Museum.

New exits on I-95N and I-195W: Point Street -- At the end of October 2009, they finally opened the "Point Street" exits off I-95 northbound and I-195 westbound, so now it is easy to find our new location. From the Point Street exit, it's only 3/10 of a mile to our store!

GPS Note -- There are two different Bassett Streets in Providence (amazing). Beadworks in the Jewelry District is in zip code 02903. (The wrong Bassett Street is north of downtown in another zip code.) We suggest you program your GPS to the intersection next door to Beadworks: 6 Hospital Street.
