Bead Basics -glass






        So you have chosen your base chain and your correct size.. now the fun begins! There is such a huge variety of bead styles available, your choices are almost unlimited. There are several basic types. Lets talk about the lampglass beads first. These are made of glass in a wide array of colors and patterns. They have the large hole to fit the chains, and have  a metal core inside the hole. This core can be made of silver, plated silver or gold. The European style lampglass beads are a basic element to creating your jewelry, adding color, pattern  and form. I often choose a glass bead I like, and design the entire piece around it. Check out the glass beads category in my store for a great selection of glass beads! http://stores.ebay.com/Kimbalina-Charms/Glass-/_i.html?_fsub=363050011&_sid=8249671&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
