This artistic bead is handcrafted though you can hardly tell by looking at them. The precision with which each bead is made is astonishing. These tube shaped stoneware clay beads are made using a particularly high heat process with the temperature depending on the different colored glazes. With many vibrant colors and design combinations, we are sure our customers will fall in love with them just as we have. Each design featured on these round beads is etched into the surface and glazed to perfection.
