Metal beads and pendants

Metal beads add that special something to any piece of jewellery. At Glücksfieber you will find a large selection of spacers, bead caps, pendants and beads made of metal.

What are metal beads?
Metal beads and pendants can be made of different types of metal. Usually the beads are cast in moulds or stamped from sheets. Metal beads and pendants are characterised by the fact that they can be made in an almost infinite variety of shapes.

What colours and finishes of metal beads are available?
We can offer you the metal beads in different surfaces. The beads are first made from the basic material. Then the beads are usually still quite unattractive. They get their special look through the outer layer, the so-called electroplating. This gives the metal beads and pendants a golden, silver or bronze-coloured surface. Gold-plated metal beads are usually 24-carat gold-plated, silver-plated metal beads are silver-plated with sterling silver. Special accents can be added with a layer of enamel . Metal beads and pendants can thus be given colourful highlights.

What types of metal pendants are there?

Metal pendants
Everyone probably knows pendants made of metal. Metal pendants have an eyelet through which a ribbon or a collier loop or split ring can be pulled. This is how the pendant can be attached to the piece of jewellery. Pendants range from tiny - the so-called mini-charms - to huge - the so-called XXL-big charms. Pendant holders are also very practical for pendants. A pendant holder makes it easier to work a pendant into a necklace or bracelet.

Metal beads
Metal beads are also very popular. Metal beads come in many different shapes. They always have a threaded hole so they can be strung on ribbon.

Bracelet connectors and coins
Bracelet connectors and coins are very popular for bracelets. They are the centre of your bracelet creation. You can use the bracelet connectors with many different materials such as elastic band, macramé band or link chains.

Slider beads
Slider beads for wide flat leather straps have become a modern classic in jewellery making. The sliders can simply be threaded onto the leather strap and, in the case of special slider bracelets, can be replaced again and again.

Settings, bead caps, separators and the like
With some metal parts, it is not really possible to say whether they belong more to beads and pendants or more to jewellery accessories. But these items are useful in any case. You can use bead caps to set beautiful accents on individual beads. Dividers are important if you want to make multi-strand jewellery. You need settings if you want to work with glass cabochons or preciosa stones.
