On this page of the Bluestreak Crystals website, you'll come across different types of Preciosa crystals, including Bicone, Briolette, Round, and Seed beads. These glass-cut crystals are easy to string together, making them a preferred choice amongst designers looking to create anything from accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, and earrings to embellishments on textiles, jewellery, and other fashion pieces.

What Are Preciosa Beads?

In essence, Preciosa beads are high-quality crystals made out of glass. They are manufactured by the Czech company Preciosa, which was founded in 1948. With almost a century of craftsmanship and expertise behind their back, Preciosa beads have become a widely popular product amongst jewellery makers, fashion designers, and craft enthusiasts.

Their staggering growth in popularity is largely due to how highly regarded the beads are for their consistent size, shape, and colour, which makes them ideal for creating intricate and detailed designs.

Whether you're a professional looking to take the design of a product to the next level or are a beginner looking to play around and bring your creative ideas to reality, you can't go wrong with any of the Preciosa beads.

Types of Preciosa Beads

At Bluestreak Crystals, we currently offer several different types of Preciosa beads and crystals, including:

Bicone Beads

Named after their shape, Bicone beads resemble a 3D cone with two symmetrical ends. These types of beads have multiple facets and are often faceted all around. As a result of that, they offer an unmatched and captivating sparkling appearance. They are most widely used amongst designers looking to add some extra texture and sparkle to existing jewellery designs.

Briolette Beads

Priciosa's Briolette beads are small, donut-shaped beads that are multi-faceted, which facilitates the reflection of light. As a result of their magic and shiny appeal, they are the perfect choice for creating bespoke designs. Most designers use Briolette beads as dangles in earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.

Round Beads

The Round beads by Preciosa are a classic and popular choice for many due to their versatility and wide application. These round beads feature a spherical shape and can be found in sizes of 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm. They are most commonly used in a range of jewellery-making techniques, such as bead weaving, embroidery, and stringing.

Seed Beads

The Czech Preciosa seed beads are one of the company's most popular products. If you look at a packet with seed beads, you'll see that every seed bead is consistent in colour, shape, and size. As a result of that, these Czech seed beads have become widely popular amongst designers specialised in bead weaving, embroidery, and the creation of intricate designs.

Preciosa Beads FAQs

Are Preciosa Beads Lead-Free?

Yes, all Preciosa Czech glass beads are lead-free. The company takes extreme care to ensure all of its products are lead-free and comply with all international safety standards.

Can I Mix Preciosa Beads With Other Bead Brands?

Yes, you can. And in fact, we would highly recommend it. When mixing beads with different dimensions from different brands, you can effectively use your creativity to come up with a bespoke design that has never been done before.

How Do I Take Care of Preciosa Beads?

While every Preciosa bead is made out of high-quality glass, it's essential that you still take proper care of them to increase their longevity. We'd recommend that you avoid exposing them to direct sunlight when the temperature outside is abnormally high and any harsh chemicals. Aside from those, you can use and wear your pieces of Preciosa beads as you see fit, and you'll see minimal wear and tear over the years.
