Guide to beads – understand the differences before you choose


Guide to beads – understand the differences before you choose


For centuries, pearls have been used for jewellery, decoration and handicrafts, and today they come in a wide range of materials, sizes and colours. Whether you are making bracelets with children, designing unique necklaces or working with embroidery, it is important to know the differences between the many types of pearls. The choice of material, shape and hole size can have a major impact on both appearance and durability.
In this guide, you will get an overview of the most important factors to consider when choosing pearls, as well as an introduction to the most common types and brands on the market.
The article presents a wide selection of pearls in different materials and price ranges to provide an overview of the many options. The product information is based on descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to give an informative and clear picture of the market.
Factors to consider when buying pearls
When choosing pearls, it’s not just about appearance. Different materials and shapes are suitable for different projects. Here are some of the most important factors you should consider.
1. Material
The material affects both appearance, weight and price. Glass and crystal pearls give an exclusive look, while plastic pearls are light and ideal for children’s projects. Natural materials such as wood, stone and mother-of-pearl add an organic touch but often require more gentle handling.
2. Size and hole diameter
The size of the pearl determines how prominent it appears in your design. At the same time, the hole diameter is important – it must fit the thread, wire or elastic you use. For jewellery with multiple layers or thick cords, you should choose pearls with larger holes.
3. Shape and surface
Round pearls are classic and versatile, while faceted or irregular shapes give a more lively look. The surface can be glossy, matte, metallic or mother-of-pearl – the choice depends on the style you want to create.
4. Colour and pattern
Colours can be combined to create contrast or harmony. Some pearls have dyed patterns, glitter or inlays that add extra playfulness. Consider whether you want a uniform look or a more playful and varied design.
5. Price and quantity
Pearls are often sold in bags or sets. Consider how many you need, and whether you want to invest in more expensive materials for individual pieces or buy larger quantities for hobby use. Quality and price often go hand in hand, especially with natural materials.

Different types of pearls
Pearls come in many varieties, and each type has its own special characteristics and uses.
1. Glass pearls
Glass pearls are popular for their shine and weight. They come in many colours and shapes and are used for both jewellery and decoration. Some are handmade, while others are machine-made to ensure uniformity.
2. Plastic pearls
Plastic pearls are light, inexpensive and available in countless colours. They are ideal for children’s projects and creative activities where weight and price matter. They also withstand rough handling and are easy to thread.
3. Wooden pearls
Wooden pearls give a natural and warm look. They go well with bohemian and nature-inspired designs. Wood is light but can be sensitive to moisture, so jewellery should be stored dry.
4. Stone and mineral pearls
Pearls made of semi-precious stones such as amethyst, jade or turquoise add a luxurious touch. Each stone has its own structure and colour nuance, making each piece of jewellery unique. They are heavier than glass and plastic but very durable.
5. Mother-of-pearl and shell pearls
These pearls have a natural shine and are often used in elegant jewellery. They can be genuine (from shells) or made from crushed mother-of-pearl. They require gentle handling to preserve the surface.
6. Seed beads and rocaille pearls
Small glass beads, often used for embroidery, weaving and detailed jewellery designs. They come in many sizes and colours and are indispensable in beadwork where precision and patterns are key.
Different pearl brands
The pearl market includes many manufacturers, each with their own strengths and specialities.
Miyuki
Japanese Miyuki is known for its high-quality seed beads that are precise in shape and colour. They are often used in professional jewellery designs and bead weaving.
Preciosa
Czech Preciosa produces glass and crystal pearls with high shine and consistent quality. The brand is popular among both hobbyists and professional jewellers.
TOHO
TOHO pearls are similar to Miyuki but have a slightly larger hole diameter, making them ideal for projects with multiple threads. They are known for their even shape and wide colour range.
Swarovski
Swarovski is synonymous with luxury and precision. Their crystal pearls have an exceptional shine and are often used in exclusive jewellery and fashion projects.
Panduro
Panduro offers a wide range of pearls in many materials and price ranges, aimed at hobbyists and creative projects. The range is easily accessible and suitable for beginners.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between real and artificial pearls?
Real pearls form naturally in shells, while artificial pearls are made of glass, plastic or mother-of-pearl. Real pearls have a more organic shape and unique shine but are also more expensive and delicate.
Which pearls are best suited for children?
Plastic and wooden pearls are best for children as they are light, durable and have large holes, making them easy to thread. Avoid small pearls for very young children for safety reasons.
How should pearls be stored?
Pearls should be stored dry and protected from direct sunlight. Real pearls and natural materials do best in soft bags or boxes so they don’t get scratched.
Can different types of pearls be combined?
Yes, many jewellery designers combine materials to create contrast and variation. Glass and metal give an elegant look, while wood and stone create a more rustic style.
How should pearls be cleaned?
Gently wipe pearls with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid chemicals and soap, especially on real pearls and natural materials. Glass and plastic pearls can be cleaned more thoroughly if needed.
