beads for jewelry material

Beads for jewelry can be made out of a variety of materials, from natural to synthetic. As Bali is a tropical island, there are many natural resources available that can be used to create very unique looking beads. There are an abundance of seashells on the beaches that can be carved and polished in to beautiful beads. 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.

Blue Bead Inside Round Metal with Charmbead shapes and sizes

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.

bead styles

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.

A woman can have many different styles to interchange depending on the occasion.

Necklaces come in many different lengths, and styles. The length that you choose will depend on your body type and the outfit you are wearing. Beads necklaces can be worn one at a time or several at once. Many different lengths can be combined for a layered look, and pendants or charms can be hung from one or more of them.

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.

Bead charms are one of the original forms of bead jewelry. The charm bracelet is a very popular item for women of all ages. It is a way of expressing your personality with personalized charms. Classic charm bracelets consist of a chain with charms attached by jump rings. The charms hang down from the chain, and swing and jangle together. However, bead charms have holes so they can be threaded on to the chain, and become more of an integral part of the bracelet.

Beads can be made of a number of different materials, from metals to glass. Most are carved or molded in to a specific shape. They are usually larger than most other beads, as well as having more intricate patterns. They are often used as the main piece in pendants or necklaces, and charm bracelets are often made entirely of this type of bead.

You can check out all of the different types of 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.

metal bead charms

The most popular metal to use to create charm beads is sterling silver. This beautiful metal brings a touch of class to your charm bracelet. In Bali, the talented silver smiths make highly intricate designs, using their granulation and wire work technique. The designs on these beads are highlighted with oxidization, and look great when attached to an oxidized sterling silver chain.

Stainless steel can also be used to create beads, as an inexpensive alternative to sterling silver. However, this metal is not as versatile as silver, and has more of a grey look to it. Brass and bronze can be used to bring a golden color to the beads. These can be strung on bronze or brass chains, and combined with wood or glass beads for a very unique look.

All metal beads can be highlighted with enamel or resin, which can be painted in to indented patterns in the metal. Black enamel painted on to a bronze charm bead looks particularly stunning. Bright pastel colors can be used effectively with sterling silver. Children find these more colorful beads very appealing.

glass beads

Glass is a very versatile material that can be hand blown to create unique pieces, or mass produced for more generic looking styles. These bring vibrant colors to your charm bracelet and can be used in combination with sterling silver or other metal beads. The translucent quality of the glass contrasts beautifully with the density of the metal.

Glass can be created using any combination of colors, making for interesting patterns and shapes. These can bring a unique twist to an all metal bracelet. One glass bead can be used in the center of the piece as a single highlight, or several can be interspersed through the bracelet to create a pattern.

how to create bead charm jewelry

Traditionally, a piece of bead charm jewelry is based around a metal chain. The metal that you choose for the chain should match with the beads that you are planning to use. Sterling silver beads should be used with a sterling silver chain. Glass charm beads can be used with any metal. This chain should have a small clasp mechanism, which the charm beads can be slipped over.

The length of the chain should be between seven to eight inches for a bracelet, and sixteen to eighteen inches for a necklace. A small length of adjuster chain can be added to allow for adjustments.

Once you have the base of the bracelet prepared, all you need to do is thread the charm beads on and create any kind of pattern that you like. The beauty of these beads is that you can change the pattern whenever you feel like it. This will appeal to those that love to be creative and to change their look.

Bronze and brass are also being used more and more these days as an inexpensive alternative to the more precious metals. These can look beautiful in their natural color, or can be plated to resemble gold or silver.

As Bali is a tropical island, seashells and wood are found in abundance here, and some very intriguing beads can be created out of these substances. Other beading materials include pearls, crystals, plastic and resin. There are so many beads available, which makes making bracelets so much fun.

stretch bead bracelet

A Stretch bead bracelet is created by stringing beads on to elastic. Before you start, you should tie a knot in one end of the elastic, to prevent the beads from falling off. You can then thread the beads on, creating any kind of pattern that you wish. You can have all one style of bead, or a combination of materials together. There really are no rules, so let your imagination go wild!

Once you have created the length that you desire, all you need to do is tie a knot, and add a dab of glue to keep the knot strong. It is as simple as that. Children can have fun creating this style of bracelet, as it is so easy to create, and they can experiment with different beads. If they do not like what they make, they can easily take it apart and start again.

macrame bracelet

Macrame bracelets have been popular for decades, and are a fun way to be creative. They are fairly simple to create and you can make anything from thin simple friendship bracelets, to wider, more intricate designs. All you need is some cord, string, ribbon or leather and some beads. This inexpensive style is a great way to accessorize on the beach, and works well in the tropics. You can make bracelets for the wrist or ankles. They can be worn alone or several at a time.

Macrame bracelets are made by taking two or more colors of cord. These cords are then knotted in to a pattern. There are many different styles of knots, from the simple square knot to inverted knots. The colors can be used to create diamond shapes or stripes, or the classic chevron pattern. Beads can be incorporated in to the design in any way you like. More masculine styles can be made by using leather in place of the cord.

wire wrapped bracelet

A Bead bracelet can be created by wire wrapping beads together in a line. This is a great way to combine several types and sizes of beads. If all one color and size is used, this makes for a classic looking bracelet. When combining several styles and sizes, you can make more modern styles, which can be worn with any kind of outfit.

This style of bead bracelet is made by threading wire through the hole in the bead, and then wrapping it around itself, before threading it through the next bead. These bracelets are very popular with young and old, and always look great. It takes some practice to get the wrapping precise and neat.

Once you have mastered the skill, you can experiment with different numbers of wraps and different styles, such as the beehive style or the spiral.

wood large beads

Wood is the perfect material to use for large beads, as it is very lightweight. This means that the increase in size will not greatly affect the weight of the bead. This is very important as heavy beads can put too much strain on the string, and cause it to break. It also can get tiring wearing heavy beads around your neck.

Wood beads can be found in their natural colors, either plain or engraved with geometric patterns. They can also be painted in a wide variety of colors and designs. These beads are great fun to include in necklaces, as the center beads, combined with smaller beads for the main part of the length.

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.

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

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.

You can check out all of the different types of 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.

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.

colors and textures

There is a wide spectrum of choices when it comes to color and textures of resin beads. They can be made in solid or translucent colors. Primary or pastel colors can all be recreated by this versatile material. The beads can be polished to a high shine or brushed to give more of a dull matte look. 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

Resin beads are mostly used for stringing necklaces or bracelets. They are created with a hole through the center, where string, cord or leather can be threaded through. This cord can then be attached to a clasp at the back of the necklace, or simply tied in a knot.

When choosing the beads for your project, make sure they all have uniform sized holes, so that they sit neatly on the cord.

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.

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
