Gold Filled Beads

Gold filled beads were produced because of the high cost and ever increasing prices of gold nowadays. Since people are not able to afford the cost of  beads made from gold at todays prices, the bead makers tried to find a less expensive alternative, hence the arrival of gold filled beads.

How Gold Filled Beads Are Made

The gold filled beads are manufactured by using a base metal and then applying a very thin overlay coating of gold to both sides of the bead. This means that the gold filled bead looks very much like a solid gold bead, but it is far less expensive to buy.

Gold filled beads are available in a huge range of sizes and shapes, and there are plenty of amazingly different designs from which to choose. Most of the best quality gold filled beads are manufacturing using a fine layer of fourteen karat gold.

Uses For Gold Filled Beads

Many bead enthusiasts use the round gold filled beads primarily for making necklaces, ankle chains or bracelets. The gold filled beads which are otherwise known as sandblast beads, are more unusual in the respect that they do not have a shiny surface to them and their texture is a little rougher than the round beads. Many women from all over the world like jewelry made using these beads because they are comfortable to wear and easy on the eye for everyday use.

There are also some fairly fancy styles of gold filled beads which can make some very unique pieces of jewelry, but these tend to be purchased more by children. But there is no doubt that gold filled beads are very popular all over the world.
