Besides being pretty, glass beads can bring bling to any jewelry collection! You could wear them in a variety of styles, be it stacking them on a string or layering them on, and they can elevate a basic outfit to something real special! But did you ever wonder where glass beads come from? The technique is called lampworking, and the answer is fascinating!
The process of making a lamp work bead begins with an artist taking thin rod of metal and coating it in a special type of clay referred to as bead release. Now this clay is all important here because it prevents the glass from adhering to the rod and getting stuck. Next, the artist melts a glass rod in the flame of the torch. These minuscule tubes are like hypodermic needles — once the glass is malleable, the artist gently winds it around the metal stick to make the shape of the bead. Once the base body is formed the artist can add color and patterns by placing tiny pieces of colored glass in the surface of the bead using heated metal tools.
These are suitable for all types of jewelry making! They tend to have more unique, intricate patterns, designs, and colors which makes them visually different from normal beads. For instance, if you create that necklace with lampwork beads, this piece will be worn for both social and gala occasions, and I'm sure you will hear a lot of compliments by your friends and relatives! Apart from necklaces, these beads can also be utilized to fabricate other mother jewellery items, such as the bracelets, the earrings, etc., creating something unique and special every time.
Well, there are round beads, tube-shaped beads, teardrop-shaped beads, and just about every variation under the sun. They are also available in different colors and sizes, therefore, there is a type of bead suitable for any project you can think of!

Once the glass is shaped, the creator must heat the bead with a second torch and smooth out rough spots and edges. It's a very important step to make sure the bead is well polished. After that, the bead is slotted into an oven called a kiln, where they cool slowly. This slow cooling process is critical, as it minimizes the risk of cracks forming. The stone bead is then cooled down completely, after which it is removed from the metal rod and the hole is cleaned out again for use in jewelry-making.
