In
the past, you can only find one color on a bead. But today, these beads are
available in various colors. Apart from the various colors, these blown glass
beads are also produced in different shapes and sizes. For example, the popular
shapes including oval, round, flat round, drop, heart, moon, butterfly, column
(or tube) and some others. Lightweight is another character of blown glass
beads. You won’t feel heavy even if you wear several large beads together on
your neck or wrist.
Handmade
blown glass beads are the dream bead of artisans everywhere. But the ones from
Italian are very expensive. They are not suitable for creating fashion jewelry,
especially with large quantity. When you search this kind of beads, from both
online stores and local stores, you will find many of them come from China
indeed. They are Chinese glass in imitation of Murano blown beads. Although
clearly not quite up there with the Italian originals, they are delicate, light
and quite fabulous in their own right. What is more, they are really a lot
cheaper. I purchased some from a China jewelry beads wholesaler named as
PandaHall and used some in my necklace design. I have to say, both the beads and
necklace design are fabulous. Of course, it is just my thinking.
