Coconut wood also polishes up into stunning pieces that can be combined with seashells to make a tropical themed necklace.

Other materials used to make beads for jewelry range from various metals to glass, to plastics. The metals used for beads can be anything from elegant sterling silver to more edgy looking brass or bronze beads. Glass is a popular material, which can be hand blown to create one off pieces, or machine cut in to more uniform ones. Resin and plastic are an inexpensive alternative to bring colorful beads in to your jewelry. These are particularly popular with children and teens.

Beads for jewelry come in every shape imaginable. Round, cube-shaped, triangular, oval and oblong beads are very popular. Different shapes can be mixed together to create stunning jewelry. Bead sizes are measured according to the total diameter of the bead. Generally the sizes range from 4mm to 8mm. Even if you are mixing the shapes within a bracelet or anklet, it is best to try and stick with similar sized beads.

When creating a necklace you can be more imaginative, and use a combination of shapes and sizes. This is especially true when creating a long necklace. The length allows for more variation. Colors and textures can also be varied to create a more visually attractive piece.

There are many styles of beads for jewelry, depending on the material used. Gem stone or crystal beads are made with dozens of small, diamond or square shaped planes cut into the surface. These planes are referred to as facets, and they serve to create a sparkle effect, by reflecting the light. These beads are perfect for high end fashion costume jewelry.

Seed beads are very small and round, and are often used as accent pieces on very fine necklaces or bracelets. They are also employed as spacers between larger beads, to break up a pattern as well as to make dainty rings for children. Briolettes are teardrop in shape, and also feature the faceted look, and are great for hanging from earrings.

stringing thread and clasps

Once you have chosen the beads that you want to use for your jewelry, you now need to think about how you want to attach them. There are several methods that can be used.

Bracelets can be created by stringing the beads on to elastic, and simply tying a knot. Alternatively the beads can be wire wrapped in a string, and finished off with a lobster clasp or toggle.

types of bead

Beads necklaces are a fantastic addition to any woman’s wardrobe. As there are so many different styles available, it is possible to own several, and choose one to match each outfit. The material used will make a difference to how a necklace will blend with your clothes, so it is important to choose carefully. Natural materials such as wood, shell and glass can be used to create a casual look, to be worn with a sarong and bikini, to the beach. Plastic beads can be a fun accessory to wear with jeans, but not really appropriate for evening wear.

A pearl necklace is a classic piece of jewelry that every woman should own. These look great whatever you are wearing, and never go out of style. Pearls are naturally pale pink but can be bleached white, or dyed a range of other colors. A simple strand of pearls is the most beautiful way to accentuate your neck. Crystals are a great way to bring sparkle to a necklace, the faceted sides reflect the light, and make you shine.

length and style of beads necklaces

Beads necklaces can be made in any length you like. They can be a continuous loop that slips over your head, or a shorter style that fastens with a clasp. They can be created using wire, elastic or thread. Long bead necklaces can be made by using thread that is knotted between each bead. This separates the beads slightly, and means the beads don’t hit against each other. Pearl necklaces look particularly good when made in this way.

Plastic beads can be strung on inexpensive fishing wire, and either knotted, or finished with a base metal clasp. Choker or collar style bead necklaces look best when made from smaller beads, which are all one color and size. This way the necklace will sit flat against your collar bones, and make your neck look elegant. Pearls or crystals look best in this style. Long necklaces can use larger more irregular beads, and a combination of colors and styles can be used.

how to choose

As beads necklaces are fairly inexpensive, it is possible to own more than one, and therefore you can have several different styles. Certain styles go in and out of fashion, but it is best to not try and follow the trend but rather, to stick to what suits you the most.

Long thin necks are best suited to collar and choker styles. Thicker necks can be elongated by using a longer style. The idea of any kind of jewelry is to draw attention to ones attributes, and away from ones flaws.

stud bead earrings

Stud earrings are also referred to as post earrings. These consist of a small charm or stone, connected to an earring post, which fits through your piercing. These earrings sit right on the lobe of the ear, and are generally fairly small. Beads, such as pearls can be used in place of a gemstone on this style of earring. Small white or black pearls look beautiful against your skin.

The stud earring is very popular with children, as it is small, and can be worn for any activities during the day and also kept in at night when sleeping. Make sure the earring post is made of sterling silver or surgical steel, to prevent any allergic reactions. These posts should be taken out regularly and the piercing cleaned with clean water or alcohol.

hoop earrings

Hoop earrings are created out of wire, bent in to a circular shape. This wire is then attached to a post or a hinge clasp that fits through the piercing, and clicks in to place. These hoops can range in size from subtle and small, to large statement pieces. Hoops can be plain metal, or beads can be threaded on to the wire of the hoop to bring color.

The number of beads used on these styles can range from one to a whole cluster. The beads can be all one color, or a combination of several different colors. Semi circle hoops are another version of this style, and these are generally made with wider metal, and with just one bead hanging down. Hoop earrings are great to wear during the day or night. They look pretty with any outfit, and are a fun way to accessorize.

long dangle earrings

Long bead earrings are great for special occasions as these larger styles make more of a fashion statement than the post or hoop styles. This style is created with a French wire hook, which the beads are attached to using chain or wire. In this way, several beads can be used, to create a dramatic look.

The length of this style of earring can vary from just below the ear lobe to almost touching the shoulder. Different sizes of beads can be mixed together to create interesting cascading effects. Colors and textures can also be combined, to give a more aesthetic look. These look great when worn out in the evening for a formal occasion or party.

how to make your own bead earrings

Bead earrings are simple to make. Simply take a French wire hook, and some rolo chain. Cut the chain to the desired length and start wire wrapping beads on to the chain. Make sure the beads fall to both the left and right of the chain. The last bead can hang off the bottom in the center.

Another version uses a jump ring attached to a hook, and the individually wire wrapped beads are threaded on to the ring. These then fall in a cluster.

how to create large beads jewelry

It is very easy to create large bead jewelry. The holes in these large beads will generally also be big, so the cord used will have to be large enough to make sure the beads hang right. The best cord to use is a thick cotton cord, or leather. Ribbons are also a good choice to combine with wood or plastic beads. The beads can be threaded on, and then the ribbon can simply be tied at the back.

Its best to not use too many over sized beads on one necklace, as the cord may not be strong enough. A combination of large and small beads arranged in an interesting pattern is the best way to design.

Resin beads are a fun and affordable way of making jewelry. Resin is a synthetic material that can be used to create a variety of shapes and colors. It is similar in look to plastic, but more versatile when used in jewelry. It is a liquid, so can be poured in to molds of any shape and can also be used to fill crevices in metal beads, to create interesting patterns.

Years ago, beads were mostly made by hand, using natural materials, but as beads became more and more popular, people started searching for alternative materials. Resin was the perfect choice, as it can be used in molds, which can then be recreated by the thousands. Beads can be used for various projects from sewing to jewelry making. They are inexpensive and durable and come in a wide variety of shapes and colors.

types of beads

Beads come in many different forms, and each type has a different function in the piece of jewelry. The most common type of bead is the spacer. This is a simple geometric shape that is generally a solid color. The spacer is used to fill up the length of a necklace, around the more specialty beads.

End beads are used at the end of necklaces and usually have a larger hole than the other beads. This allows for the string to go through twice, and be secured. These are functional beads, as well as providing an attractive way to finish off a piece. Accent beads are made in more unique shapes and colors, to provide a unique twist to a necklace made mostly out of spacer beads.

shapes and sizes

Resin is a very malleable material, which makes it very easy to work with. It can be made in to virtually any shape. Many beads follow the basic geometric shapes, such as balls, barrels and cubes. However, this is not all that can be found. They can also be made in to three dimensional shapes such as flowers, hearts and even cartoon characters. This variety of fun shapes makes resin beads very popular with children and teens.

Beads vary widely in size but the most common sizes are between four and eight millimeters. Some accent beads can be larger than this. When creating a necklace generally the bulk of the string is made using a smaller uniform sized bead, and the front part has the more abstract shapes and sizes.

Facets can be carved in to the sides, to create the look of a crystal bead.

Resin can be given all sorts of different textures. It can be rough or smooth, with a hammered look, or with ridges. Flowers or leaves can even be imprinted in to the material for an earthier look. A necklace or bracelet can be composed of a variety of textured beads for an eye catching result.

how to use resin beads

Amethyst is a very popular gem, its purple to lavender color is a hit with almost everyone, as it can be worn with anything in the pink and blue range, as well as greens.

seed beads

A seed bead is a tiny little bead that can be used as a spacer. Most beaded items need these little narrow beads to break up a pattern, and stop the necklace from looking too crowded. They also keep fragile beads from becoming chipped or broken from rubbing against each other.

Seed beads can also be used to create colorful rings, as well as memory wire bracelets. These items are particularly popular with children

Wood beads are both inexpensive and versatile, and can be used to make casual jewelry for men, women and children. They are great for mixing with other materials to make unique looking jewelry. Beads that are made of wood can have holes drilled of varying sizes, so they can be used on larger cords. Leather is particularly popular with men, as, when it is mixed with wood, it creates a more masculine look.

There are many different types of wood available in Bali, from light colored ones such as bamboo to the darker types like coconut and sono. Each wood brings its own unique look to a design. The grain of each type looks great when given a clear varnish to bring out the natural shine. Another alternative would be to paint the beads with bright colors, for a more playful look.

coconut wood beads

Coconut trees can be found all over Bali, and the husks of the fruit as well as the bark of the trees are used to create a number of different products, from home wares to jewelry. Coconut beads have a very distinct style to them and the grain is particularly intriguing. Beads can be cut to emphasize this grain, and bring out the natural beauty. The color of coconut wood varies according to the age of the tree. From pale tan to a deep, dark brown.

Coconut beads can be made in a number of different shapes, from chunky discs to tusk shapes. These look great when combined with pearls or shell beads in a necklace. This tropical look is a great way to accessorize when wearing a summer dress or beach clothes. These natural beads can be used to create stunning necklaces, bracelets or earrings.

bamboo beads

Bamboo is another plant that grows in abundance in Bali. It is easy to grow, and is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. It is used for building materials, home décor as well as jewelry. The bamboo plant grows in long cylinder shapes, and is naturally hollow inside, making it ideal for use as beads.

The color of the bamboo ranges from light mint green to yellow or chocolate brown. It can be spotted, striped or black. Bamboo wood beads are ideal for use in necklaces and bracelets because of its smooth, flat shape which sits perfectly against the wrist or neck. The beads are also very lightweight, making them very comfortable to wear.

As the beads are made from segments of bamboo stalks, the lengths vary and are shaped like a tube. These can be paired with spacer beads to create a pattern on a long necklace. This kind of necklace makes for great beach wear, combined with a bamboo bangle on the wrist.

Alphabet beads have letters stamped on all four sides of square shaped beads. These can be simple black and white, or multi colored. Each bead is less than an inch in size, and they can be combined with other wood beads in fun friendship bracelets or colorful necklaces. These are great projects for children to create themselves, and can be worn to brighten up any kind of outfit.

Shopping for Bali Silver Beads? Look no further! We sell the very best Silver Beads from Bali at the best prices. Browse our extensive Bead Jewelry catalog. Wholesale & retail. Worldwide shipping. Shop & Save!

When you are talking about Bali beads, silver is the first thing that pops into your mind. That is because silver has been the choice of the craftspeople on the island since the mid 1970’s. This is the time when the tourism industry really discovered Bali.

Bali Beads Silver
As people flocked to the country to see the amazing beaches, the beautiful weather and the outstanding natural beauty they also discovered other features of the island. One of the most outstanding was the huge artisan population living on the island.

These artisans created everything from beautifully decorated carved wind chimes through to the silver jewelry that is now popular worldwide. Bali silver beads are 92.5% silver, making them sterling and not fine silver. The benefit of this is sterling silver is highly resistant to tarnish and wears to a rich glow.

You can check out all of the different types of Bali Silver Beads & Bead Jewelry we sell – bead bracelets, bead charms, bead necklaces, bead earrings etc. and in all the different types of bead materials – silver beads, resin beads, crystal beads, plastic beads, wood beads etc. by clicking on our Bead Jewelry Catalog link.

bali silver beads colors

The appearance of sterling silver is different depending on how it is treated. In Bali, the artisans and silversmiths maximize this difference in their patterns and designs. By highly polishing raised areas of the beads and leaving the lower areas naturally dark the contrast is highlighted.

This is what makes Bali silver beads and other silver Bali products so distinct. Over time the colors will change slightly, all part of the beauty of wearing sterling silver.

taking care

There is no metal that is easier to care for than sterling silver. All you will need to do is wash with warm, soapy water and rinse well with clear water. You can polish the silver with a soft cotton cloth or a jeweler’s cloth if you so desire.

Just a gentle rubbing will restore the luster to the polished areas of silver on the beads or the jewelry item. Everyday wear also helps to polish the silver as the beads move about and rub against surface areas.

Small scratches that can occur on the very polished surfaces of the beads are not usually a problem. They can be gently rubbed with a jeweler’s cloth to smooth out any slight scratches.

bead bracelet care

There are some simple tips that you can use to keep your bali silver bead bracelet looking like new. Care for Bali silver beads is minimal under most conditions and they can be cleaned as mentioned above.

However, avoid wearing your silver jewelry items when you are using any type of cleaning solution. Some chemicals will discolor or tarnish the silver very quickly. Taking your bead bracelet off is also a good idea if you are using paint or stain or any type of dye.

Additionally, minimize the contact that the beads may have with any type of skin lotions, perfumes or cosmetics. Washing the jewelry item with warm, soapy water on a routine basis will get rid of any build up of these types of items. It will also help to remove the oil from your skin that can collect over time.

A silver bead necklace is a classic piece of jewelry, which brings a modern spin on an elegant style. Bead necklaces can be made from a variety of different materials, but the silver version is one of the most popular. The shine and brilliance of silver makes for an eye catching piece of jewelry, whatever the style. The wide range of stunning and intricately designed silver beads in Bali provides a great starting point to creating unique necklaces.

Silver beads come in a variety of sizes, styles and textures. They can be clean and shiny, or have an engraving that is highlighted with oxidization. This is the typical style found in Bali, and these beads are very popular with both men and women. The bright silver bead necklace adds a sense of beauty to any outfit.

shapes of silver beads

Silver beads come in different shapes and sizes. A silver bead necklace can consist of multiple beads, or can be created out of tiny bead chains. These bead chains are very delicate, and are usually used to hang small pendants. The beads are generally faceted, so they reflect the light and create a very shiny look.

Round beads are the most popular type of bead, these can be made with a rough or smooth texture, and come in a variety of sizes. This shape of bead creates traditionally classic necklaces, which suit any age.

If you are looking for a more modern look, there are more geometric shapes available, such as the oval and square. These can be either flat or three dimensional and create a very unique look when used in a necklace. All these shapes can be used alone, or mixed together in a pattern.

lengths of necklace

Silver bead necklaces come in many different lengths to create a variety of looks. Some necklaces are shorter, and hang right under the throat like a choker, while others are much longer, and can be worn doubled up. The length of necklace you wear will depend on your body type as well as the outfit you are wishing to accessorize. Shorter women look better wearing shorter necklace lengths, whereas taller women can take advantage of the longer necklaces available.

The length of silver bead necklace that you choose must match the outfit that you are wearing, as well as the occasion. Longer necklaces look better when worn with high necklines and can be worn several at a time. Silver styles can be combined with other beaded designs. Shorter necklaces look better with lower necklines, and can be highlighted by adding a pendant. Whatever length you wear, the sparkling silver will bring elegance to your look.

how to create a silver bead necklace

A silver bead necklace can be created in a variety of ways. The beads can be strung on elastic, or beading wire or wire wrapped individually using silver wire. The wire wrapping style separates each bead by a wrap of wire, whereas the stringing style has all the beads touching. Both styles look great, it just depends on the look you wish to create. If the length of the necklace is long, it can be slipped over your head, there is no need for a fastener.

Shorter necklaces will need some form of clasp. Sterling silver lobster clasps or toggles can be attached on to the end of these necklaces and fastened at the back of the neck. These clasps can be attached by threading the elastic or wire through the ring, and tying tightly. A dab of glue on the knot will help keep the clasp secure and prevent it from falling off.
