Gray Glazed Porcelain Round Beads (6mm)

These porcelain round beads are a wonderfully tactile and characterful bead that brings a genuine handcrafted quality to any jewellery design. Each small round bead — approximately 6mm in diameter as shown clearly against the ruler and coin size references — has a distinctive speckled black and dark grey glaze finish that gives it an organic, stone-like appearance with real visual depth and texture.

The surface has a beautifully uneven mottled quality, somewhere between a volcanic lava texture and a traditional Japanese ceramic finish, with the white porcelain body peeking through cleanly at the bead hole on every piece. No two porcelain round beads are completely identical, which is exactly what makes them so appealing for jewellery makers who value natural organic character in their work.

These porcelain round beads suit a wide range of jewellery aesthetics — their dark speckled glaze works beautifully in minimalist monochrome designs, industrial-style bracelets and earthy boho pieces where the organic texture adds genuine character. Pair them with our hematite beads for a sophisticated dark monochrome bracelet that feels grounded and contemporary, or contrast against our freshwater pearls for a striking light and dark textural combination that is endlessly wearable. Thread onto our nylon threads for a flexible, durable result that does justice to these beautifully crafted little beads.
