Glass Beads

Glass Beads for Jewellery Making, Bracelets & Art:

This glass beads collection is centred on jewellery-making beads and finished glass bead bracelets, with a specialist glass-bead acrylic effects medium also included for artists. The jewellery range is dominated by Amberlene Cherish beads, alongside teardrop glass beads and Cateseye glass bead bracelets.

Cherish Glass Beads for Bracelets & Jewellery:

Cherish glass beads form the largest part of the collection. These decorative beads are sold in four-piece packs and come in a wide palette including amethyst, pink, teal, royal, red, yellow, green, black, blue and white.

Selected Cherish beads are handmade from glass with a rhodium-plated inner. They feature a 4.5mm hole and are compatible with Pandora 3mm bracelets, making them suitable for adding colour and personalising compatible charm bracelets. They can also be considered for other jewellery projects where the bead dimensions and hole size suit the intended design.

Teardrop Glass Beads & Cateseye Bracelets:

For jewellery makers looking for a different shape, the collection includes 9 x 12mm teardrop glass beads supplied in a pack of 47. These provide an alternative to the larger-hole Cherish-style beads for handmade jewellery and decorative beading projects.

The range also includes finished Amberlene Cateseye glass bead bracelets in red and purple. These handmade bracelets are gift boxed and provide a ready-to-wear option rather than loose beads for jewellery making.

Glass Bead Effects Medium for Artists:

Glass beads also appear in a different form within the collection through Liquitex Glass Beads Textured Effects Medium. Supplied in a 237ml pot, this acrylic effects medium contains glass beads and is designed to add texture and dimension to artwork.

Choosing the Right Glass Beads:

For charm bracelets, check both the bracelet diameter and bead hole size before selecting Cherish beads. For handmade jewellery, consider bead shape, dimensions and pack quantity, particularly when planning repeating patterns. If your project is painting or mixed media rather than jewellery, the Liquitex glass bead medium is the relevant option for creating textured acrylic effects.
