Ceramic Beads, Glazed and Unglazed, Gold Plated or Silver Plated Greek Ceramic Beads, Raku Beads

Ceramic Beads come in an extensive range of gold or silver plated ceramic beads as well as glazed, unglazed, enameled, oil on water (iridescent) and a wide range of colors. Our Ceramic Bead Catalog can be viewed here. Ceramic beads are made from clay mixed with colors either glazed or unglazed then fired in a kiln. The hand made nature of the process and the natural individuality of the clay and colors result in variations from bead to bead, expressed in differences of shape, texture and color of the fired ceramics. Raku glaze on Raku beads is a smoked glaze which gives subtle, highly prized color variations. Its glaze is not as chip resistant. These ceramic beads from Greece are ideal for use with leather, hemp, polished cotton, rubber and other thick cords. If you want perfection, Greek ceramic beads are not for you. We sell wholesale as well as retail.
