Freshwater Beads—Things You Need to Know


Today, no one will ask why when people say “I love pearls”, I think, because many people are attracted by pearls’ beauty, elegance and luster. On today’s fashion jewelry market, almost all the pearl jewelry pieces are created with freshwater beads.

For thousands of years, pearls have been admired for their beauty and rarity all over the world. In some ancient countries, people believed that pearls were a symbol of the moon and had magical powers. It was said that in ancient times, knights wore pearls onto the battlefield believing the pearls’ magic would protect them. Many famous rulers were also fond of pearls.
In ancient ages, all the pearls are natural sea pearls. They are the symbol of rich and states of the nobles and the rich. Today, almost all the pearl beads used in fashion jewelry are freshwater beads (cultured pearls). The difference between wild and cultured pearls focuses on whether the pearl is created spontaneously by nature (without human intervention) or with human aid. There are many different types of freshwater beads, such as South Sea Pearls, mabe pearls and so on. Freshwater pearls are grown in non-saline water, but the South Sea pearls and Tahitians are cultured in salt water. But unlike cultured saltwater pearls, freshwater pearls are not bead-nucleated and are therefore typically less round. Only two percent of all freshwater beads are round or near round. Though this number seems quite small, the abundance of freshwater pearl beads is much larger than other pearls types. The most common shapes of these beads are oval and button shaped.
On today’s fashion jewelry market, we can easily find many freshwater pearls. These freshwater beads are available in a wide range of colors, shapes and sizes. Originally these pearls were marketed as an inexpensive alternative to natural sea pearls. For this reason, jewelry makers traditionally used freshwater pearl beads for pieces that favored design over the gems themselves. However, since the 1990s, the freshwater beads have a large improvement in both quality and value; and then more and more freshwater pearls have been used in fashion jewelry making designs.

Many jewelry beads suppliers can offer freshwater pearl beads, some are retailers and the others are wholesalers. There are several main suppliers of freshwater beads, and China is the largest one. Many beads manufacturers in China have their own freshwater pearls farms or have a long and friendly cooperation with these farms. So, if you want to get cheap and quality freshwater beads, China is a good choice.

Useful Information about Crimp Beads


Crimp beads used in jewelry making has a long history. Crimp beads are quite essential in jewelry making, and available in different types. The main three types are round, tube and ribbon crimps. Different types have different usages.
Brass Crimp Beads
Brass Crimp Beads

Round crimp beads are the most normal seen and used type. They are mainly to secure beads, but in the case of floating bead jewelry, they may also be incorporated into the design. Many jewelry makers use round crimp beads in conjunction with crimp tips, or crimp covers, which slide over the crimp bead and hide it. Both crimp beads and covers need to be carefully compressed with pliers, such as specially designed crimp pliers, to squash them down and make them secure. If you are planning to use this type of finding beads in your creations, ensure that the bead is large enough to allow the threat to pass through it twice.

The tube crimp beads are larger and quite longer than the round ones. They are very strong too. These finding beads are always left uncovered and are much more likely to be incorporated into the jewelry design. And the crimp tube beads are very suitable for heavy and larger beads. They are normally available in sterling silver or gold filled or plated models. Tube crimp beads tend to be very easy to work with, making them ideal when the elements of the strand are very dainty.
Brass Crimp Beads

About the ribbon crimp beads, they are used with ribbon jewelry, which is easily to see from their name. Today, more and more jewelry makers like to use ribbons for their jewelry designs as an alternative to chains and beading threads & cords and this is where they need ribbon crimps to secure their jewelry. Ribbon crimps are available in rectangular or square shapes.

To some beginners of jewelry makings, they may not clear about how to use crimp beads. Here are some useful tips about it. Crimp beads are always used at the end of wires to stop beads fall off. String the beads on your wire, thread or cord, and make sure the hole of round crimp beads is big enough for your wire to turn back and through the hole again. Then use your crimp pliers to press the bead. Then the other jewelry beads will not fall off.

Crimp beads are not only available in different types but also available in different colors and sizes. So, you have a large range of selection, of course if you purchase them from large online supplier.

So the second idea is a jewelry set which created with yellow glass beads, yellow resin rhinestone beads and antique gold rhinestone beads. I also need some jewelry findings.

Let’s make the bracelet first. 1, String 3pcs yellow glass beads on elastic cord, and add an antique gold rhinestone beads as bead spacers between each two glass beads. Then, string a yellow resin rhinestone bead on cord. Second, repeat the first step for another four times. Third, cut off the extra elastic cord and make a knot. Hide the knot into a hole of a bead to make this bracelet looks clear too. About the earrings, string a crimp bead on ball chain at one end and use a crimp plier to press it as a stopper. Second, string a rhinestone bead and a glass bead on the ball chain. Third, use a bead tip to hold the ball chain on the other end and attach the earring pendant on the ring of earring hook. Create the other piece with the same steps. Till now, a lovely glass beads jewelry set is created.
