Advantages of Plastic Beads
Acrylic is a transparent plastic material with outstanding strength. It’s lightweight and soft to the touch. Making acrylic beads an inexpensive alternative to glass and semi precious. They can be dyed popular bright colours for striking jewellery – and can survive a low temperature wash, ideal for decorating clothes. They’re also easily molded into interesting shapes, and great to teach children jewellery making.
These fun beads often imitate more exotic gems like dzi, faceted crystal, pearls, and other semiprecious stones. At a fraction of their cost. Therefore, don’t overlook the potential of plastic beads to help create interesting affordable designer jewellery.

Folklore says it protects sailors’ and is the treasure of mermaids. The gemstone is also supposed to have powers that reach to land too, helping married couples solve their problems and drive off evil. Aquamarine is associated with the thymus gland and is very soothing worn as a necklace. Also thought to help coughs and calm the nerves. The Romans used aquamarine for stomach troubles and believed it could cure liver and throat problems. Aquamarine brings courage, aids quick intellectual response, and protecting the aura.
Colour ranges from a light turquoise blue to a bluish green. Darker blue is the best, greener less valuable. Check the clarity of the stone. Because aquamarine has a light pastel colour, it’s important to be free of flaws or inclusions.
Examine the cut from different angles checking light reflects evenly off the surface of the gem. Aquamarine is usually heat treated and will become paler if left in the sun. Clean aquamarine in with warm soapy water and a soft bristle brush. As with all gemstones, protect from scratches and sharp blows.

Shortly after, I shared a 20th-floor apartment above the largest bead wholesale complex in the world, in mainland China. We wondered if we could sell beads that were everywhere below us. Ignorant about semi-precious, we searched AltaVista online and listed them on newly-started eBay. Picture is view from the balcony. It went so well, within a few years, an eBay rep took us out for an expensive meal in Hong Kong.
Those days I traded as OnlineOriental.com and BetterBead.com, until Keith in the UK thought of the name ‘MrBead’ during a late night phone call over 20-years ago. I registered the domain immediately.
Prior to 2008, I’d never seen a customer – they only existed online! Until exhibiting with a single table at my first bead fair at the Sandown Park Big Bead Show. Never visiting a bead fair before, I thought it would be like jewellery shows in Hong Kong, where customers’ placed orders, rather than actually took stock away. So I brought a big monitor and computer to market MrBead.com. Astonishingly, bead samples were snapped up faster than I’d ever imagined. I was also surprised to see many stalls selling our beads that they’d brought online.
Now we live in the UK, we can do many more shows. As there’s not enough for our apatite, I organize our own bead shows to fill the calendar. If anyone would like to join any of these for free, please email me.
