How to choose the right beads for your next project

Start with the shape and scale you want your finished design to have. Smooth rounds and pumpkin rondelles create a softer look, while faceted stars, rectangles, and cubes add structure and sparkle. Glass beads are a great choice for bright, graphic color, while gemstone and shell beads bring natural variation and texture.

For a balanced design, combine one statement shape with smaller coordinating beads. You can also repeat one color across different materials, such as pairing colorful gemstone beads with a gold-filled zircon charm.
