How To Come Up With Unique Beaded Sets

By Larry Jackson


The bead is a small attracting object mainly for decorating and is formed in many different shapes of materials like glass, plastic or a stone and small hole is drilled for stringing. Bead setting is one of many types of stone setting. Some of these types are bezel, prong, channel and burnish setting. Unique beaded sets are a sign of creativity that is brought about by both independent and critical thinkers who do not let their world be controlled by others.

There many developmental advantages of beading to both young and the old. Working with beads of different sizes promotes different grasps ability. It helps in stressing both small and larger muscles. It promotes both visual memory and visual discrimination. One must remember the bead to use so as to attain a specific pattern of interest and the visual discrimination helps in selecting the bead that best suits the desired image.

Excellent coordination between the eye and the hand is enhanced during the procedure since the eye and the hands must move in a coordinated manner to form an enthralling pattern. Cognitive skills such as good planning and application of mathematical skills are acquired too during the procedure. One has to plan on how to move from initial step towards the end in a chronological order. The correct number of beads required to complete a certain pattern for a certain length is determined. This is mathematics.

Socializing is very common during beading. This occurs through exchange of items by the parties during the act. Some patterns made at beading are fitted into the dresses. This shows that the dressing skills are promoted. On completing a project, one gains confidence in him or herself. The self-esteem is promoted too. It also can be used as a form of entertainment.

The stone and a metal plate are some of materials required at the process. Tools used in the process are setting bur, round bur, bench vise, flex shaft, jet set, drill bits, ball bur and bead tool. The tools are usually very sharp because at times are pushed through very hard surfaces and therefore when handling them one ought to be very careful.

To commence the process, arrange the stones into the desired pattern. The pattern to perform and the diameter of the stone should guide when deciding the spacing. The precision should be factor not to forget when the seats are being cut. The sizes of holes should neither be too small nor too large.

Always as you progress consider determining the fit. Tight fitting is the most appropriate because large fits may cause problems later. The depth of seat should be determined with great care to avoid inconveniences. Then cut the line using the onglette graver. The depth of cut must be the same as the depth of the seat. Then use onglette graver to isolate beads by making cuts. Then setting bur is used to recut seats with the intention of cleaning them.

The brush pusher is then used to ensure the stone sits nicely. Then raise of the beads is the next step followed by forming the beads. During this stage much force is unnecessary. Indeed, the bead making is awesome. Bead jewelry is used to decorate clothing mainly worn in weddings traditional festivals and also in social engagements.
