Foil Glass Beads Jewelry Suitable for Every Occasion

Foil glass beads is one kind of lampwork beads which are created by glass artists melting and shaping glass rods on to stainless steel mandrels using a propane and oxygen-powered torch. One technique of decorating lampwork beads as they are being made is to use foil, typically comprised of silver, gold, copper or palladium. This foil comes in ultra thin, individually-wrapped sheets and is applied to the bead during the lampworking process. Those are foil glass beads.

Foil glass beads are widely used in jewelry making. They are available in vast variety of finishes, colors and textures, and come in numerous designs, patterns and shapes. The commonly used shapes include round, heart, flat round, oval, cube, square, column, rectangle, twist and etc. These beautiful, colorful handmade glass beads are always used to make stunning jewelry which will suitable for every occasion. Those beads are very popular with the artists because they give the artists a creative independency in the creation of beads for varied uses, and employing vivid colors.

And most of my jewelry works contain foil glass beads as they are really very beautiful and easily to be mixed and matched with other jewelry beads. What is more, there is no need to break your bank to buy many jewelry pieces in different styles, and foil glass beads jewelry are not expensive but suitable for many occasions. On Mother’s Day of this year, I made a handmade foil glass beads jewelry set for her, it contains necklace, earrings and a bracelet. Mom loves it very much, and wore them in many occasions. Of course, she was praised to have a good taste by her friends and others.
