Cube beads in the 925CRAFT online store
In this article, we will focus on beads in the form of cubes, however, as an online store with jewelry findings, we also offer on our website clasps, jewelry tips, pins, tubes, jump rings, earring making supplies, connectors, ring blanks and cufflink blanks, pearls, crystals, gemstones, and other necessary accessories that will help you to create a bracelet, necklace, earrings, ring, or other decorative elements. Our stock also offers silver balls, as well as precious stones and semi precious stones in the form of beads for jewelry. The recently fashionable cube styles, whose shape resembles dice, are decorated with various motifs, especially letters of the alphabet. This has not escaped the attention of lovers of personalized jewelry, who use such beads for jewelry making to create decorations with a personal character.
Beads with letters in the form of cubes create a completely different aesthetic for jewelry compared to balls. But in the same way, they can be combined with other accessories, obtaining beautiful and high-quality arrangements. In our virtual showcases, you will find cubes as follows:
-
natural beads for jewelry making - semi-precious cubes available in various colors - characterized by beautiful colors and inclusions, thanks to which they are unique and unrepeatable.
Although they represent completely different materials and styles, they complement each other perfectly. Thanks to them, you will create unique layered jewelry or minimalist jewelry for the neckline, forearm, ankle or ears.
Letter beads in the form of cubes fit perfectly into the trend of personalized jewelry. Its popularity is not surprising due to the additional value that complements its visual aspect. It is the ability to match the jewelry to the personality of its owner. Beaded alphabet letters, due to their small size, allow you to create your own text. What's more, they allow you to modify it yourself, thanks to the fact that the cubes can be moved freely. Silver cube letters are one of the ways of personalization, which we present in more detail in the article Popular motifs in jewelry - part 2.
Cube bracelet beads
Jewelry making findings in the form of beads are the products most often used to create fabulous, layered jewelry for wrists and even forearms. The cube silver letters offered in our assortment perfectly fulfill their roles of decoration and personalization at the same time. As silver findings, they have a more noble and elegant form, the delicacy of which is given by rounded, smooth and polished corners. They contain the entire Latin alphabet, including Polish characters, the design of which is simple in the form of grooves.
Carriers for letter cubes
To make personalized ornaments with letter beads, jewelry supplies such as jewelry cords and leather cords are most often used. Thanks to the existence of many techniques, you can create sophisticated, braided jewelry patterns or minimalist ones with one letter cube. Thin chains, which we offer as bracelet findings and bulk chains, will also fulfill the function of the carrier. In the necklaces bases category, you will find models in various sizes with a clasp and two-part models for connector pendants. If the diameter of the jump rings (attached to the chains) does not match the hole in the cube, you can easily remove them. Necklace chains are a convenient option that streamlines work, and additionally diversify your projects with a pendant with a favorite motif.
What's more, using chains for connectors, you can create personalization in the form of content, using letter bead range and engraving plates. By creating jewelry with intention, we unleash creativity while engaging our customers by giving them the opportunity to express their personality through personalized pieces that reflect their individual tastes. In doing so, we build stronger relationships with our customers by offering them jewelry that has a special, personal meaning to them.
A small pendant cube with letter
Silver letter beads also allow you to create necklaces with a personal touch. Thanks to their small size, the cube pendant with a letter will create a subtle celebrity style jewelry. Just thread a delicate silver or gold chain through it and you have ready-made jewelry. For this purpose, we offer a classic anchor chain in meters, or a ready-made anchor chain necklace with a clasp. In the case of other chains for necklaces, finished with jump rings, before threading them through the cube, you should remove the ring - similarly as in the case of bracelets. Such a simple, minimalist decoration with an initial is a favorite accessory of many women. Therefore, it is a good choice for a gift. It is therefore worth making celebrities with the most popular letters of the alphabet: m, k, a, n, w, d, j, b, e, p, g, i, l.
Letter beads for bracelets are also ideal for personalization by composing a name, date or other text. They allow you to design a collection of necklaces with different content, such as popular sayings, names of professions, sports, hobbies or zodiac signs. The cubes can be hung loosely directly on a chain, on another carrier, or on a chain with pin.
Letter beads also work well in earrings
Modular letter beads are used to make personalized jewelry in every category, which also includes earrings. Jewelry pins with a ball, nail or eyelet ending are most often chosen to make earrings with such decorations (the latter - if they are to connect subsequent elements of decoration). In addition to traditional pins, you can also use hoop earring findings as carriers for the letters. Such arrangements give very effective results, which can be additionally decorated between the cubes by hanging silver pendants or other colorful earring findings.
The styles of our cubes are cast in silver 925, which makes the earrings look very elegant, as well as other jewelry products. The letters as small beads do not overwhelm, but create arrangements that attract the eye with their personal message.
As a silver findings manufacturer, 925CRAFT also offers other square beads for jewelry making – heart beads, infinity beads or with a textured surface. The heart and infinity sign designs are exactly the same as the letter designs, which is why they harmonize perfectly with them. By creating bracelets complemented by a heart cube, you can compose sets of personal content with an emotional accent. Both letter models and those with motifs are good choices for creating accessories for various anniversaries and holidays, such as Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or Women's Day.
Other square or faceted silver beads are worthy of attention, and are available in another product category: decorative elements. For creators looking for such shapes, we offer a satin cube spacer and a cube bead.
Semi-finished products in the form of beads are also a great material for inexperienced people who create decorations, such as jewelry gifts. All you need is a bracelet concept, choose the simplest carrier – elastic cord and silver letter beads, to create a work that brings joy and satisfaction to someone. Handmade jewelry, with your heart put into the work, often turns out to be the most wonderful gift.
Cube beads made of semi precious stones
As a jewelry findings wholesaler, we also present completely different cube beads - beautiful natural stones. These products bring multi-color to projects and harmonize perfectly with silver letter cubes. They can be combined in any way and also with such details as pearl beads, precious stones or semi precious stones. There are practically no limits to compositions - the best advisor is always the imagination of the jewelry makers.
Each type of beads for jewelry making gives the opportunity to create an endless number of accessories. Necklaces and bracelets in cascades look particularly impressive. The color palette of our stone cubes gives the idea of shaded patterns, which can be created from both cubes and balls, weaving silver jewelry semi-finished products in different galvanic coatings into them. The advantage of the cubes is the uniqueness of each of them due to the presence of inclusions in minerals and nuances in shades, which makes each of them unique.
Suggestions for carriers for stone cube beads
GAVBARI cubes have a small opening of 0.8 mm, which is why they require the use of thin carriers in the form of threads, ropes, jewelry lines, which you will find in the accessories category. They present different colors and thicknesses. Jewelry with beads is also made on rubber bands and using jewelry pins.
As a store with jewelry making supplies, we offer thin pins and necklace chains with a pin, which you can adjust to the diameter of the beads. The combination of silver findings with colorful elements brings elegance. Using jewelry pins and chains, you can create delicate, custom pendants such as a classic pendant or a connector, creating minimalist patterns. We offer a ready-made base as curb chain and anchor chain.
Semi-finished products needed for finishing jewelry
To finish jewelry with beads, appropriate jewelry findings, such as clasps and jewelry tips, are necessary. Depending on the style and carrier it is created on, you need to use different types of tips.
On styles made with natural stone beads on cords, strings or threads - crimp covers, wire guard protectors and clamshell beads will be useful. And the accessories that decorate the letter beads on the strings can be finished with insert sleeves, among which we also offer clasp sets. If you are making an adjustable bracelet on a string, silver balls and end caps will provide an elegant finish.
Silver Bead Galvanic Coating Options
The 925CRAFT company, as a manufacturer of gold and silver findings, has a galvanizing facility, thanks to which we offer various options for galvanic coating of the presented silver beads. Accessories made of them gain not only a fashionable color, but also protection against silver discoloration. We offer a coating of 18-carat light gold, 14-carat gold, 18-carat rose gold, platinum and light rhodium. Mixed colors allow you to compose interesting arrangements, which is currently a popular trend.
In summary, designing jewelry with beads in the form of letter cubes or natural stones opens the door to creating a multitude of styles intended for wearing all year round or in a specific season. Elegant designs based on silver cubes will perfectly complement both party and work outfits, regardless of the season. On the other hand, richly decorated, layered ornaments with colored cubes for the wrist and neck are great to accentuate airy summer outfits, harmonizing with the colors of summer. A properly selected color scheme of details also emphasizes beauty, harmonizing with complexion, hair and eye color.
