Pearl Beads
Pearls are always a popular style and here at The Bead Shop we have a pearl to suit any budget and taste. The freshwater pearls are perfect for attaining the classical pearl look, knotting with silk cord for a vintage feel while the array of colours in our Swarovski and Glass ranges give you the chance to bring this look to the modern day with bright and deep colours, such as Neon Pink and Teal. Designing stunning pieces with pearl beads has never been easier!
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
Pearl Beads
There’s something timeless about pearls. Whether you're creating classic jewellery with a vintage feel or experimenting with modern colour combinations, pearl beads bring an effortless elegance to every design.
At The Bead Shop, we stock a carefully chosen collection of pearl beads to suit a variety of styles, budgets and projects. From the organic beauty of freshwater pearls to the flawless finish of Preciosa crystal pearls and the versatility of glass pearls, there's a pearl for every maker.
Freshwater pearls offer a naturally unique look, with subtle variations in shape, size and lustre that make each piece one of a kind. They pair beautifully with silk knotting for traditional necklaces or can be mixed with metals and gemstones for a more contemporary feel.
Preciosa crystal pearls are loved for their smooth surface, rich colours and consistent finish. Available in a wide range of shades and sizes, they bring a refined, luxurious look to jewellery designs without the price tag of natural pearls.
Glass pearl beads are a popular choice for both beginners and experienced jewellery makers alike. Affordable, versatile and available in countless colours and finishes, they're perfect for everything from bridal jewellery and classic pearl strands to colourful bracelets, earrings and seasonal designs.
Once reserved for royalty and the wealthy, pearls have long been associated with sophistication and style. Today, they remain just as relevant - equally at home in a timeless necklace as they are in modern, playful jewellery designs.
Whether you're creating wedding jewellery, refreshing a vintage-inspired design or simply adding a touch of lustre to your latest project, pearl beads are an easy way to bring elegance and character to your work.
