Introduction

Lampwork beads are formed by melting and shaping glass rods over an open flame. Each bead displays unique color swirls and surface patterns.

  • Drill hole sizes vary; verify diameter before stringing on your chosen wire or cord.
  • Annealed beads resist cracking when exposed to temperature changes during wear.
  • Coatings such as silver leaf or dichroic layers add reflective detail to finished pieces.

Sort by size and hole dimension to match your current project needs.
