Beads and Glass Rings

Czech Glass Rings

Pressed glass beads in a variety of colors. These rings are easily combined with our jump rings to give your chainmaille a new look. (However, be gentle with them, as they are glass and can shatter if you drop them!) Size and shape may vary slightly and color may vary from dye lot to dye lot. Sold in packs of 2 dozen (24 pc.) or 4 dozen (48 pc).

Buy 5 or more 48 packs and save $1 off each!
(Yes, you may Mix 'n' Match premium colors and standard colors *grin*.)

Measurements:
9.4 x 2.5 mm with 3.5 mm hole
(NOTE: the Bronze Iris glass rings are slightly thicker and measure - 9.7 x 3.1 mm with 3.5 mm hole.)

Please expect size variations from ring to ring (and from color to color). These differences should not effect any weaves, but some weaves using the Bronze Iris glass rings with jewelry brass rings can prove to be quite difficult as the jewelry brass rings are a bit thicker than our other base metals. Please visit our blog for information about the care and cleaning of jewelry that uses glass rings as well as weave ideas using glass rings

Premium Colors—Black, Blue Iris, Bronze, Emerald, Hematite and Tortoise—are more difficult to make, and therefore cost slightly more. You'll find the Multi Mix in the premium section, because we quality control and create that mix by hand. All other colors are considered standard. Out of stock colors will not appear in the drop-down menus below.

Swarovski® Crystal Ring, 14 mm

Add a little bling (Well, maybe a lot of bling!) to your jewelry. These round cosmic rings from Swarovski® have precision-made angular cuts which catch the light in a spectacular way. The rings look much prettier in person than in the photo. The crystal volcano and bermuda blue aren't as dark as they appear here. Size of crystal is 14 mm. Out of stock colors will not appear in the drop-down menus below.

Swarovski® Faceted Round Crystal Beads, 6mm

These crystal beads are waiting to be nestled into your next chainmaille masterpiece. Our color selection was chosen specifically to match our beautiful anodized niobium colors (see our blog for a full color matching chart). Go for subtlety by pairing them with their niobium counterparts or have fun contrasting them with other metals and colors.

Swarovski® Faceted Round Crystal Beads, 8mm

A touch bigger than their 6mm counterparts, these crystals will impart that much more sparkle to your chainmaille! Match them seamlessly with our anodized niobium rings or make them stand out by pairing them with sterling silver or base metal. See our blog for a full color matching chart.

Swarovski® Bicone Crystal Beads, 4mm

These small bicone crystals are a great way to add a little extra color and sparkle to your next project.  We especially love using them for earrings like Rebeca's "Mini Japanese Cross" earrings as seen in her book CHAINED.  Visit our blog more ideas on how to use crystals in your chainmaille project.

Miyuki Beads (6mm seed beads) - approx. 120 beads per pack

Add some color, shine and bling to your next chainmaille project.  Available in more than a dozen outstanding colors, these beads are like adding jewelry to your jewelry!  These beads can accommodate jump rings in wire gauges up to 18ga AWG (17ga SWG).  These beads do have slight variations in their hole size, so if you are creating a project with 18ga AWG rings (especially in jewelry brass) we recommend buying more beads than you need for your project to account for the few beads that may be too tight to fit.
