What to know about Jewelry & Beads

Handmade jewelry means bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings put together by hand from beads, wire, cord and natural stones. Because every piece is made one at a time, it has an originality mass-produced jewelry cannot match; color, length and materials can be adapted to the wearer. Many techniques can live side by side in jewelry design: seed bead weaving, macrame knots, wire wrapping and bead crochet are only a few. The same beads reach beyond jewelry too: beaded and pearl keychains, name tags, beaded trees and pearl bags make up the beadwork side of this category.

Welcome to the world of Jewelry & Beads! No rush: the most beautiful work grows stitch by stitch, with patience.

Anatolia has a long tradition of adornment and jewelry; symbols like the nazar (the blue evil eye bead) are still loved in handmade bracelets and necklaces today. You do not need a big studio to start making jewelry. Round-nose and flat-nose pliers, side cutters, beading wire or elastic cord, jewelry wire, jump rings, clasps and earring hooks are enough basic supplies for a great many designs. Match the bead hole size to the cord you plan to use, and choose nickel-free materials for any part that touches the skin.

Bracelets are a frequent choice because they finish quickly; elastic beaded bracelets, macrame bracelets and name bracelets lead the way. Necklaces feature natural stones, pendants and layered designs. Earrings are most comfortable with light materials and balanced lengths, while rings use wire wrapping and bead weaving. On the beadwork side, pearl keychains, name tags for phones and bags, beaded trees built on wire, and bags crocheted with pearls are the most shared projects. Matching sets made in the same colors and materials look coordinated whether you keep them or give them as gifts.

tips & tricks

Tips for beginners

Before you start your first project, take a look at these little tricks; they make the work easier and the result lovelier.

  1. When opening a jump ring, twist the ends sideways instead of pulling them apart; the ring keeps its shape and closes fully.

  2. To size a bracelet, measure around the wrist and add 1 to 2 cm (about half an inch) for a comfortable fit.

  3. Gently pre-stretch elastic cord before you use it; finish with a double knot and hide the knot inside a bead with a larger hole.

  4. For earring hooks and clasps that touch the skin, choose nickel-free, low-allergy materials.

  5. Store beads in compartment boxes sorted by color and size; working on a tray with a rim or a velvet bead mat stops beads from rolling away.

  6. Bonus: ask when you get stuck

What supplies do I need to make handmade jewelry?

To start, round-nose and flat-nose pliers, side cutters, beading wire or elastic cord, jewelry wire, jump rings, clasps and earring hooks are enough. For beads, choose what suits your style from seed beads, glass, wood or natural stones. Nickel-free findings matter for any part that touches the skin.

What cord is used for beaded bracelets?

For stretchy bracelets that slip on and off easily, elastic cord is a practical choice. For bracelets with a clasp, steel beading wire or nylon thread holds up better, and macrame bracelets usually use waxed cord or nylon cord. Choose the cord thickness to match the bead hole size.
