1000s of Glass Beads from Beads by Mail
CLICK one of the links to the left in the PINK bar to see our detailed catalog of today's glass bead art. We offer many choices in each category.
Venetian beads are the modern embodiments of the oldest art form in glass in Europe.
The glass beadmakers on Murano have been making beads for hundreds of years and using
secret methods. Most of the millefiore beads are reduced 40% to 60% so take a look.
Czech glass-- For sheer volume and variety you can't beat the glass factories in the Czech Republic. Any color, size, shape, finish, you name it, they are probably producing it. Fashion or faux pearls are a perennial favorite. We feature Czech quality glass beads which have been dipped, not sprayed. The coating stays on and has wonderful depth and luster.
When we say Austrian we mean Swarovski. This factory has been producing the highest quality machine cut beads and stones since the late 1800s. You can always recognize a Swarovski design.
Vintage beads were made before (pre-war) or after WWII up to about the 1970s. They are increasingly difficult to locate and add presence and interest to any design.
