Welcome to Tropic Jewel! We are a women-owned-and-operated business! 

Our store hours are: Monday closed, Tuesday-Saturday 11-6, Sunday 12-5.

*** In doing some updates to our website, a queue of old “order fulfilled” emails got sent for a random assortment of (very) old orders! If you happened to receive something like that, it was just a glitch, and nothing is being sent. So sorry for any confusion! ***

DATES TO NOTE: We have a small staff and close the store early/completely when we need to, especially when we participate in events like the Madison Night Market or Maxwell Street Days Sidewalk Sale! Always feel free to call to be sure we are open if you are making a special trip. 2024 Madison Night Market dates: All Thursdays : 5/9, 6/13, 8/8, 9/12, from 5pm-9pm! On those days we will be open 11am-3pm in the store and 5pm-9pm in our tent on the street. We will only have a sampling of our jewelry down there so if you need beads, plan accordingly!

We are one of the oldest and largest and only bead stores in the Madison area.  We carry a wide variety of Czech pressed glass, stone, wood & bone, metal charms & beads, seed beads, findings, and stringing materials!  Not a beader? We also have a large selection of sterling silver rings [sizes 3-14], earrings [many posts, dangles, and 100+ styles of hoops] ear cuffs, bracelets & necklace chains, tapestries, jewelry racks, and even a few nose rings.  Want something one of a kind?  Come take a look at our vast selection of handmade jewelry! Need a repair? We don’t do soldering but we’re happy to take a look at your other pieces! (Do not count on anything being done on the spot, we will likely have a week+ wait time for any work order)

The ‘shop’ section of this website features a small sampling of our products, including gift certificates, occasional bead kits, and handmade & sterling silver jewelry. We are currently working on reloading! If you like something that has sold out, please ask about further availability! Individualized entries will be made for special orders. Looking for beads? We are working on adding more items to our Etsy page! Check out www.etsy.com/shop/tropicjewel !

Any online orders can be sent for a flat rate fee, subject to change upon weight/destination. All online sales are final.

We hope to be able to see you soon. Our store hours may vary as time goes on, so please be sure to call us at 608.256.4442 if you are making a special trip to be sure that we are open. If we do not answer, we are likely not there.

We are very responsive to e-mail, so feel free to reach out to tropicjewel@gmail.com with any questions! And, follow us on Facebook and Instagram for frequent postings of products & projects & news! Anything we post about can be for sale, please inquire!

AND, as always, THANK YOU for choosing to support local small business.

Cheers! -Shelby & Lauren
