Introduction

Cross beads serve as focal points or accents in necklaces, bracelets, and rosaries. Available in metal, wood, or glass, they add symbolic detail and texture contrast to handmade pieces.

  • Material choice: metal offers shine, wood provides warmth, glass adds color play
  • Hole size: ensure drill holes accommodate your cord or chain thickness
  • Finish: select polished, matte, or antiqued surfaces to match overall design tone
