The bead shop

A Family Run Business
For Over 30 Years

The Bead Shop was first established in 1993, the brainchild of Fay Kersh and her husband, Harvey. Fay woke up one morning and told the family she had been dreaming about beads; it was from this dream that the bead shop concept was born

Waxed Linen – Description & Uses in Jewellery Making

Waxed linen is a strong, durable, and flexible natural fibre thread coated with wax for added strength, water resistance, and ease of use. Made from high-quality flax fibres, this cord is widely used in jewellery making due to its ability to hold knots securely and its slightly textured surface, which helps prevent beads from slipping.

Uses in Jewellery Making:

  • Macramé & Knotting: Ideal for intricate knotting techniques such as micro-macramé and Celtic knots.
  • Bead Stringing: Works well with larger-hole beads, offering a rustic and organic look to designs.
  • Braiding & Weaving: Used for weaving patterns and braided jewellery styles, providing durability and texture.
  • Bookbinding & Stitching: Often incorporated into leather and stitched jewellery designs for added strength.
  • Rustic & Boho Jewellery: Popular in handmade and bohemian-style jewellery, creating a natural and earthy aesthetic.
