Versatile Glass Beads in Jewelry Making Designs

We all know that glass beads are one of the most popular and widely used jewelry beads for today’s fashion jewelry designs, so that many people like to create glass beads jewelry to start their jewelry making. Here are two jewelry making designs with these beads for sharing.

Glass Bracelet

The first glass beads jewelry is a bracelet. I used flat faceted round electronic glass beads in AB color, (about 8mm in diameter), about eight pieces silver metal rings, antique silver Tibetan style link pendant and clear elastic thread. Stringing bracelet or necklace is the simplest jewelry design. First, let’s use some electronic glass beads and elastic thread to make a flower ball shaped beaded pendant. Second, string four pieces silver metal rings on thread first, and then string antique silver Tibetan style link pendant and the rest four pieces on thread too. Third, string the rest electronic glass beads on clear thread, and cut off the extra to make a knot with two strands of threads. Fourth, kind the knot into a hole of bead to make it looks clearly. Fifth, use a jump ring to attach the flower ball shaped beaded pendant onto the ring of Tibetan style link pendant. Now, a simple but classic glass beads bracelet is finished.

Fashion Glass Jewelry Sets

Glass beads are versatile and can be used with many other jewelry beads to create jewelry pieces too. 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. They are ball chains, crimp beads, bead tips, and earring hooks. And of course, all of them are antique gold. 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.
