How to choose beads for handmade super jewelry

It’s easy to find the jewelry beads used in beading, your local craft store or a specialty bead store, apart from these offline resource, the online shopping of beads, supplies or findings is also a good choose. I have discussed how to purchase discount wholesale beads on my last jewlery news, today I will continue to teach you how to choose beads for beading.

(1) Materials

Different materials make for different projects. Plastic beads are great for kids' crafts and some home decor projects. Glass, precious and gemstone beads, along with crystals, are excellent for fine jewelry work, Tibetan jewelry work well to show the feeling of ancient rhymes and exotic ambience.

(2) Shapes

Bead weaving should, ideally, be done with jewelry beads all the same shape (and size) for the sake of uniformity. For more decorative stringing, balancing squares with rounds and bicones gives enough contrast that each bead shape has a chance to shine. Drops are just some of the many top-drilled shapes that will take you beyond basic strands. Stone chips are good for an organic feel, mixed in with seed beads to stretch them out a bit.

(3) Color

If you do a lot of beaded jewelry with your wholesale beads, ordering color charts from the major manufacturers is a good idea. For other work, a color wheel that shows not only the basic primary and secondary colors, but also various shades and saturations will help you pair beads with other materials.
