Round Gold-Filled Beads

Metal beads are an integral component of beadwork all over the world. While plastic, wood, and glass beads are also usable for making jewelry, you need to use precious metals to create exceptional jewelry with higher value.

Round beads are popular with crafters and jewelry makers because they are versatile and provide a perfect, seamless look to bracelets and necklaces. The image of the lustrous golden necklace is a timeless image that represents gold’s permanent place in the world of jewelry-making. Nothing produces the same visual impact as gold, and gold-filled round beads provide that timeless charm that family, friends, and customers love.

Both gold and silver are standards and repositories of value, so it follows that any jewelry with pure gold content will be valuable, especially in the long term. In the case of Xinar’s gold-filled round beads, our manufacturer uses a proprietary gold bonding technique to ensure the best results compared to other brands. Why does the bonding method matter so much?

If you remember, gold-filled items are produced when a heavier layer of gold is mechanically bonded atop jeweler’s brass. Compared to gold-plating, where gold is drawn to the base metal through an electric current, gold-filling involves the mechanical application of the gold to the chosen surface.

The total weight of pure gold in Xinar’s beads can be as much as five percent of the full bead weight. Compare the weight of pure gold in gold-filled beads to the gold in gold-plated items, which is only microns thick.
