OTHER BEADS

CATS EYE: Great quality glass beads with an "eye" in them.

CHINESE STARDUST GLASS BEADS: Exciting textured glass beads that are Acrylic and very popular.

CZECH FIRE-POLISHED BEADS: Fire-Polished beads are machine faceted, then polished by glazing inside a red-hot oven.  This gives them beautiful, glistening colors with a softer look and a smoother feel. They seem very “charged with energy” to me!

They are available in many brilliant colors and I can accommodate almost any color you desire.  If you do not see a color you want, please email me or call and I will try and find them for you.

HAND-CARVED BONE BEADS:  No animals are killed for these beads.   Cows, goats and water buffalo bones are harvested in a natural way.  Beads are placed in a smoker to give them the antique colors.

CINNABAR:  Man-made beads created with layers and layers of lacquer.

FOIL-LINED BEADS:  Also hand-made and beautiful.

HAND-MADE CANE BEADS:  Sensational glass beads!

HAND-MADE CHILE BEADS:  Each one was hand shaped!

METAL BEADS - These come in a variety of sizes.

HAND–MADE LAMPWORK BEADS: These are all hand-made in a variety of colors and patterns. Each so unique!

MILLEFIORI BEADS: These are also hand-made. MILLEFIORI in Italian means “a thousand flowers.”

OCEAN GLASS - This is glass that has been tumbling around in the ocean which gives it a frosted affect.

HAND-MADE PROCELAIN BEADS: These are hand-made and hand-painted and beautiful!

SWAROVSKI BEADS: Swarovski is the world’s leading crystal maker of beads.  These beads have a heart of crystal and layers and layers of hi-sheen. 

VINTAGE BEADS:  I have a great source for these, but not always the sizes I need. Again, drop me an email or phone call and let’s see what we can put together.

HAND-MADE CLOISONNE BEADS:  I use only high-quality hand-made cloisonné beads. Each bead is so intricate and fabulous!
