Beads and rhinestones are popular and versatile components used in jewelry making. Beads can be made from a variety of materials such as glass, plastic, metal, wood, and gemstones, while rhinestones are made from cut glass or plastic that looks like precious stones.

One of the benefits of using beads and rhinestones in jewelry making is the endless possibilities for design. With so many different colors, textures, and sizes to choose from, one can create a piece of jewelry that is as unique as it is beautiful. Beads and rhinestones for jewelry making can also be used in combination with other components like charms, lockets, and pendants.

There are several types of beads that can be used in jewelry making, including seed beads, faceted beads, and shaped beads. We offer many different types of beads here at B'Sue Boutiques, from Coral Beads to Metal Beads and many more.

Rhinestones, on the other hand, are best known for their sparkle and shine. They can be used to add a touch of elegance and glamor to any piece of jewelry. Our rhinestones for jewelry making come in various sizes, colors, and shapes, allowing for a wide range of experimentation in the design of jewelry.

Using beads and rhinestones in jewelry making is relatively easy. One can use wire, thread, or cord to string beads and rhinestones onto a piece of jewelry. Crimp beads, jump rings, and bead caps can also be used to add a finishing touch to a piece of jewelry.

1. Please buy quality glass beads that have been annealed properly. This means where possible, you should buy Czech, German and European glass beads, or, if you can afford them, quality lampworked beads from an artist whose work appeals to you. Many faceted beads in big box stores are of new Oriental make and have been made quickly, without proper annealing. What that means for you: oh sigh! they may break easily, and be brittle when you work with them, especially on the ends. They can be prone to crack. Finding a big sale is great! But a sale on something that isn't going to hold up is a loss, not a gain.


2. A wonderful bead POPS! when you put it in a frame. That means, you need cool bead caps to set off your pretty beads! At B'sue Boutiques we are crazy for bead caps and ours go fast, no matter how deep our inventory gets. Also, we sometimes have a style for awhile and then, not. If a cap is a fave for you, BE SURE to save a photo. That way if we don't have it for a bit, you can get in touch and show us what you are looking for, and we can get them again.


3. Our filigree beads and bead caps are 100% rich low brass, some with artisan plating, some not. All our plating finishes are NICKEL FREE. And all our metal is MADE IN THE USA. Most come from decades-old tooling with a strong vintage design aesthetic. That's why our caps are COOL to use....and they endure in your work. They are QUALITY. QUALITY is what it's all about.
