FAQ

What can I make with these? Bracelets, necklaces, earrings and layered designs where a full spread of colour is wanted from a single strand. At 48 beads a strand there is enough for a bracelet with beads left over, and two strands cover most necklace lengths.

Why use faceted glass instead of round? The cut faces catch light from many angles at once, so a strung row reads brighter and livelier than smooth beads of the same size. It is the reason these glass beads for jewelry making work well as an accent between plainer stone or metal beads.

What findings pair well? Silver and stainless keep the colours crisp and cool; gold and brass warm the yellow, orange and red beads and soften the clear ones.

What stringing material works? The 1.3mm hole fits standard beading wire, stringing cord, and most thin elastic for stretch bracelets.

Will the colors vary? This is man-made glass rather than natural stone, so the colour of each bead is consistent from strand to strand and the sequence repeats along the strand. Expect the same set of colours every time you reorder.
