Start to Make Unique Jewelry with Lampwork Beads


There are so many different jewelry beads are available, but lampwork beads are one of the specials. Why? Because each bead is handmade. No two pieces are the same totally, even if they are made by the same artist. Handmade lampwork beads are produced in various shapes, colors, sizes and designs, so that you can have an array of selection.

When you walk around in your local jewelry beads stores, you will be attracted by these beautiful and special lampwork beads, and want to create some your own jewelry designs with them. Do you have any idea about your designs? If you are just a beginner of jewelry making and have no good idea for the moment, here I’d like to share two ideas with you—one is a stringed bracelet and the other is a jewelry set. Let’s start to make the stringed bracelet first. Please prepare the following items: 11pcs blue European style lampwork beads (about 13mm long, 10mm wide), 11pcs white glass pearl beads (about 10mm in diameter) and elastic cord. This bracelet is very simple to make even if this is your first time to make jewelry. Just string all the jewelry beads by one European style lampwork bead and one glass pearl bead. Then make a knot after all the beads are stringed. Last, hide the knot into a hole to make this bracelet clear. It is very simple to create but very lovely, isn’t it?

Now let’s start the second design. This lampwork beads jewelry set include a bracelet and a pair of earrings. The maters you need are 7pcs yellow flat round lampwork beads (about 16mm in diameter), 27pcs faceted glass beads (about 6mm in diameter), 28pcs headpins, 2pcs silver round, rhinestone beads, 12pcs tiny silver spacer beads and 2pcs earring hooks. Let’s make the bracelet first. First, string 25pcs glass beads on 25pcs headpins, one bead on one pin, and use your round nose jewelry pliers to make a loop at the top of each bead. Second, String 5pcs dangling glass beads on and lay them as a flower, then string a tiny spacer bead and a lampwork bead. Third, repeat second step four times. Make sure there is a spacer bead between each glass beads flower and lampwork bead. Fourth, make a knot and hide it into a hole. About the earrings, string a tiny spacer bead, a lampwork bead, a rhinestone bead and a glass bead on headpin and use jewelry plier to make a loop at the top of glass bead to make the whole as an earring pendant. Then attach the pendant on the ring of earring hook. Make the other earring with the same steps. Now, a beautiful handmade lampwork jewelry set is finished.

Can’t wait to create your own lampwork beads jewelry now? You must purchase some jewelry materials first. In order to save money and get a large range of selection, I’d like to suggest you to purchase them from jewelry beads wholesale online stores, like PandaHall.com.
