Our glass bead jewelers make the beads in batches. This means that most designs are not repeated once they run out. They continually create new designs and color combination for us to enjoy. Each bead is made, one at a time, by hand! Glass rods are melted and wrapped around a mandrel that the artist continually spins in order to form the round shape. For our European beads bracelets, we also add a silver core. From our artist’s hands to yours, a strong, beautiful, unique design in glass. Because of its low cost, durability, and close visual likeness to diamondm CZs are used in jewelry to allow everyone to the affordability of beauty.
