Seed Beads – Tiny yet Exquisite

 Seed Beads are tiny sized beads, almost the size of a seed. Seed Beads are available in almost all colours in varied shapes and sizes. But when you weave out a seed bead pattern say for a necklace or bracelet or even a pair of earrings you will be amazed at the overall effect. Mixing and matching colours which match the outfit you wish to accessorize with.


Well, Seed beads do have a different luster and a shine of their own. You can always check out seed beads which come in luster finish, glossy finish and even a matt finish. You could always go out for what would go best for your jewellery and design your own seed bead jewellery.



Seed beads are made in Czechoslovakia, Taiwan, China and Japan. The seed beads are available in sizes such as 5/0, 6/0, 10/0, 11/0 and even 7 mm. You could even go for a mix of Seed beads of two or three of your preferred colours. Even in seed beads you get round seed beads, tube seed beads, hex shaped seed beads, twisted bugle shaped seed beads, bugle shaped seed beads and lots more.




Seed Beads can be used in jewellery especially dainty trinkets, for adorning shawls, scarves, handkerchiefs, purses and almost anything you wish to accentuate.

Wooden Beads – Ethnic and Classy


Wooden Beads are popular since ages immemorial. Wood being the most commonly and abundantly found on earth, man started using wood to make beads alongside with other useful articles.



Wooden beads are generally made of wood of trees such as bamboo, ebony, ironwood, palm, apple and pear to name a few, this is primarily because the grain of the wood is fine while the wood emits a faint yet pleasing aroma. Most wooden beads are made in South East Asian countries while even select European countries have ventured into bead making.



Wooden beads can be available in finely polished natural wood tones or even bright and fancy colours which truly lighten up the wearer’s appeal. Popular wooden beads also contain patterns and intricate designs on them.



You get round wooden beads, oval wooden beads, square wooden beads and even wooden bead mixtures – though most of them come in basic wood colours. For colourful wooden beads you could also check out Indian Wooden Beads which contain trendy patterns in bright colours.



So, go ahead and get set for wearing bold and funky jewellery made out of wooden beads which make you truly stand out in the crowd.
