Glass Beads ...

A Glass Bead or series of beads are popular beads for making jewellery.

Glass Beads for jewellery making come in a wide variety of sizes, colours and shapes and are often smooth, colder and heavier to the touch, over acrylic beads.

Due to the manufacturing process of glass beads, they may also vary slightly in colour from batch to batch, so it is advisable to ensure you always purchase enough glass beads to complete your specific project. We always update our photographs with the latest bead colours should they change when we order, but this is not always noticable on different computer monitors.

With advances in bead manufacture, glass beads are now available silver lined, pattern swirled, faceted and all sorts of other interesting techniques which can add real interest to your jewellery designs !
