Ceramic beads for DIY jewelry
Beads and pendants made of ceramic and porcelain are both durable and lovely on bracelets, necklaces and earrings, adding bright colours and a rustic look to the jewelry. Mix and match the various beads and enjoy the different outcomes. For the earrings shown in the picture we used a pair of gold-plated earwires with a diameter of 20mm and a few ceramic stars from the list below. Buy a pair of earwires and a handful of ceramic beads in different colours and shapes and you will have earrings for every occasion - no jewelry tools necessary.
The star bracelet is made with transparent jewelry elastic 1mm and finished with three tight knots.
Porcelain and Ceramics – From Historical Masterpieces to Modern jewelry Design
Porcelain and ceramics have a long and fascinating history as materials for jewelry, decoration, and ornamental items. As early as ancient times, ceramics were used for decorative objects and ritual purposes, while the finer porcelain, invented in China, quickly became a coveted luxury material worldwide. European royal courts and the nobility admired porcelain for its beauty and durability, and many iconic designs, such as blue-and-white Chinese porcelain, remain popular to this day.
Today, porcelain and ceramics come in countless shapes and designs. They are used in modern homes as decorative elements like vases, figurines, and bowls, adding elegance and personality to interiors. As jewelry, ceramics and porcelain beads and pendants offer a unique aesthetic—often handmade and beautifully decorated to create stunning earrings, beaded necklaces, and bracelets.
These materials are both classic and timeless, yet versatile enough to fit into modern styles. Porcelain and ceramics continue to be a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, captivating design enthusiasts around the world.
