Blue Buddha welcomes AVP Beads to our location!

We are excited to announce that AVP Jewelry and Beads will be opening a second location within Blue Buddha Boutique on July 1!

AVP specializes in beads, jewelry supplies, classes, and repairs. Owner Ana Pizarro has spent the past decade in the bead industry, working for many years at Caravan Beads before opening AVP on Elston near Irving Park. Ana is an instructor and published author, and now she’ll be bringing her expertise to Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood with AVP’s new location.
