Large-Hole Glass Beads for Jewellery Making

Explore large-hole glass beads for necklaces, bracelets and other jewellery projects, including traditional Turkish handmade designs in ring, cylinder and round shapes. Choose a profile to suit your layout and compare the scale with neighbouring beads or connecting findings.

Large-hole is a relative description, not a single standard measurement. The cylinder examples list approximately 2.5mm holes, while round examples describe approximately 4.5mm holes. A ring-bead listing gives an approximate 3mm to 5mm range. Match the selected product's stated opening to your actual cord or stringing material rather than relying on the collection name.

Pack quantities differ between designs. Cylinder and round examples are supplied in ten-bead packs, while one ring-bead pack contains approximately 25 pieces. Read the full product information and check dimensions and quantity before estimating how much material a necklace or bracelet requires.

The Turkish handmade listings note possible differences in size, hole size and colour between individual beads. Allow for these variations in fitted patterns and when planning knots or repeated passes. Colour names such as Agate Blue describe the offered shade and do not establish gemstone material. Lay out your selected combination, test the stringing material through the actual beads and follow any product-specific care guidance before completing your design.
