Crystal Beads

In this section you will find all crystal beads. To avoid any confusion, crystal beads are not gemstones, minerals or mined minerals or gemstones... They are 100% man made items. Confusion sometimes arises with the term crystal... To simplify the story, here is some background : Crystals are manufactured products.. the crystal-making industry took off in the early 1900s along the Rhine River in Europe (why crystals are sometimes call rhinestones). Crystals were one of the first manufactured jewels commoners could afford - before that jewellery was often only for the high aristocracy. Often crystal companies give the name of a gemstone to their crystal colors... A purple crystal is called amethyst, red ones garnet, blue ones topaz etc. Over the years extraordinary branding and marketing left some people believing that Branded crystals are natural gemstones -- They are not and will never be. The process of creating crystal is the combination of glass in which lead replaces the calcium content of a typical potash glass. Please note we do not sell Crystals from Europe -- Most contain lead. All of our crystal are from Asia and the formulation is barium oxide, zinc oxide, or potassium oxide are used instead of lead oxide.

Customer Testimonials
Hello Michelle, Dianna & Joe! I'm writing to let you know I just received my order today & had to let you know that I'm flabberghast by your crystal beads... I usually work only with Swarovski (™) Crystals, but couldn't resist the pricing on your Chinese Crystals. Frankly, I was not expecting high quality, but was stunned to find that your crystals meet or exceed my regularly used ones. Placing them side-by-side, you'd never know they weren't (the other brand). I'll definately be back for more! Thank you, Kriste
