1 Strand Red Glass Beads – 8mm

These red glass beads are a pure, passionate colour statement that belongs in every serious jewellery maker’s collection. Each 8mm round bead glows with a rich, jewel-like ruby red tone — deeply saturated and beautifully translucent, with a smooth high-gloss polished surface that lets light filter right through the glass and illuminate the red colour from within.

The effect is genuinely stunning on the strand, creating an almost gemstone-like quality that looks far more expensive than the price tag suggests. Consistent in size and colour from one end of the strand to the other, these red glass beads are a joy to work with for necklaces, bracelets and earrings alike.

Red glass beads are one of those endlessly versatile colours that suits every season and jewellery style — from bold statement necklaces and Christmas jewellery through to Valentine’s Day gifts and everyday layered bracelets that simply love colour. Team them with our gold plated metal beads for a rich, classic red and gold combination that always turns heads, or pair with our red copper leverback earring hooks for a fully tonal warm-red earring design that is cohesive and striking. Thread onto our beading wire and finish with our clasps and toggles for a polished professional result.
