Faceted beads for jewelry making

Faceted beads for jewelry making

Faceted beads are so called because of the way they are cut. The surface of the beads is not round but cut in facets, corners, and this can be done in many different ways. Faceted beads come in many types, finishes and materials. The most common faceted beads are glass beads or gemstone beads, both of which we sell a large collection at Beads & Basics.

Because faceted beads are cut in the same dimensions they are also very suitable to use in beading patterns. Many faceted glass beads are available in the same color in different sizes so you can use them perfectly in patterns. Of course you will find some nice examples where faceted beads are used and we tried out some threading patterns for you.
