Cleveland Rocks and Beads is a jewelry store in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. The shop offers beads, rocks, jewelry, and gifts, and serves both walk-in customers and visitors looking for hands-on instruction. It holds a rating of 4.70 from its customer reviews.

The store is the creation of Jennifer Gerard, who has worked in beads and jewelry for over 30 years, including many years as a direct importer of handcrafted pieces from Nepal. She built the business around three priorities: supporting artists and artistry, building community, and maintaining fair trade relationships. The staff is made up of experienced beaders and artists who help customers select materials for their own projects or find the right gift. In addition to retail, the shop runs classes and parties, takes repair work, and books private events by phone.

Cumberland Park and the Cleveland Heights Recreation Center are both about a quarter mile away, and Lee Road is a short distance to the south. The store is roughly five minutes east of Little Italy and University Circle, and about fifteen minutes west of I-271 at the Mayfield Road exit.

Regular hours run Monday through Friday from 11am to 6pm and Saturday from 12pm to 5pm, with the shop closed on Sundays and most major holidays.
