Polymer Clay Beads - Heishi Discs & Cube Spacers

Polymer clay beads offer a starting point for your next handmade jewellery design. Explore lightweight heishi discs and cube-shaped spacers for colourful bracelets, necklaces and other jewellery projects. Alternate shades for repeating patterns or combine different profiles to change the texture and rhythm of a strand.

The cobalt heishi listing describes approximately 6 × 1mm discs with approximately 2mm holes. Cube examples have different measurements, approximately 4 to 4.5mm with approximately 1.5mm holes. Check the selected bead rather than applying the heishi dimensions to every shape in the range.

Approximate counts also differ: a heishi strand is listed at around 310 to 330 beads, while cube strands contain around 85 to 88. Both examples are approximately 16 inches long. Allow for variation in disc thickness and cube dimensions when estimating the number needed for a specific pattern.

Lay out the selected components together before completing the piece. Check the scale, colour balance and compatibility of any connecting findings. Where measurements are provided, compare them with the actual components you plan to use rather than relying on a photograph alone.

When choosing polymer clay beads, confirm the exact material, finish and supplied quantity on the individual listing. Allow additional pieces for samples, adjustments or coordinating accessories if your project requires them. Follow any product-specific care and assembly information.

Lighting and screen settings can affect how colours and reflective details appear. Keep a record of your chosen product name and code if you may need to order again, and check the full description before deciding on your final combination.
