China Beads

China Beads
China, which has a long history and profound culture, has devoted itself to enrich the types of beads since early times. Some types of beads have combined the Chinese and Western culture, and some keep the unique Chinese style, such as ceramic beads, cinnabars, bones, cloisonné and etc..

Ceramic Beads

Ceramic / porcelain beads are handmade and hand painted. They are very nice components for making fashion custom jewelries such as necklaces, earrings, bracelets, shoes parts and other decorations. They have been individually painted with Chinese symbols, scenes of nature, mythical creatures, or images of animals. They are widely available at bead stores in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. 

Cinnabar Beads

Cinnabar is carved for making beautiful fancy jewelry and other ornamental objects. This stone can be carved into different sizes and shapes which makes this stone most suitable for making beaded jewelry. Cinnabar beads are hand-carved with intricate designs representing beautiful symbols or images found in nature such as birds and flowers. Pendants and beaded necklaces made with Cinnabar are extremely popular with the fashion conscious individuals.

Bone Beads

The bone beads are normally made from a section of hollow bird/ox bone which is already perforated and light in weight. Many of the bone beads exhibit polish from being worn as a necklace or from having been handled. Bone Beads have become a popular factor of fashion to some degree.

Cloisonné Beads

The art of cloisonne was first developed in the near east, and then soon spread into China where many production facilities are operated today. Both Chinese and Russian cloisonne have enjoyed great popularity, with widespread use on decorative items such as vases, tableware, headdresses, statuettes and, of course, beads.
