Beads are one of the oldest art objects used by people for centuries for adorning their bodies and clothes. Years ago, it would take a long time to make these small pieces, as the tools available were so primitive. Their rarity and beauty made beads symbols of wealth and status. Over the years, beads have become easier to make, but they still have value as beautiful decorative elements. They can be used to create jewelry, or to decorate clothing.

Beads can be made from a tremendous variety of materials and range in size from minuscule seed beads to chunky pendant sized beads. Materials range from semi precious gemstones and genuine pearls to plastic and resin. Whether they are used to create elegant jewelry or decorate a picture frame, a crystal bead will always provide a sparkle.

hand made glass crystal

The various colors and limitless variety of glass lends itself well to crystal bead work. As it is relatively inexpensive, plentiful and malleable when heated, glass can easily be shaped in to a bead. Artists can manipulate the material to create abstract patterns, floral designs, swirls and other special effects. Making glass beads by hand is extremely time consuming, but the end result is a unique piece of hand crafted art.

A hand crafted glass bead is usually used as a centerpiece in a necklace, or decorated with a silver design and made in to a pendant. The translucent color against the metal work creates a stunning piece of jewelry, which can be worn to a formal occasion or any other special event.

bulk produced crystal bead

Crystal beads are made of a specific type of glass, which has been given a faceted design, and polished to a high shine. Older beads may be made of lead crystal, but modern crystals are infused with zinc oxide to achieve the sparkle effect. These beads come in a variety of shapes, from diamonds, squares, and rectangles to barrels. They also come in a wide range of colors.

This type of bead is created in bulk, so is cheaper than the handmade ones. They are all cut in to the same uniform shape, so look great in a string. They can be strung in to long necklaces, or hung from ear wires. The sparkle they create looks great with any outfit, and creates a very elegant look.

rock crystals

There are two types of crystal beads, those made of glass, and those made of rocks. Rock crystals are fashioned out of natural quartz. These natural stones are found under the ground and shaped and polished in to gem stones, and beads. Glass crystals have more sparkle than rock crystal, but the rock crystal is less fragile, and therefore more durable. Many gemstones are naturally translucent, giving beads cut from them a radiant glow when under the light.

Natural gemstones occur in hundreds of colors, shapes and sizes, but there are certain gems that are particularly popular for bead work. 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. Smokey quartz, lime citrine and amber are all great to wear with earth tones, and garnet and ruby are a fantastic way to bring some vibrant reds in to your look.

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
