Lampwork Glass

Why are lampwork beads so expensive? ?

Aren’t they just glass??? I found a pretty bead, maybe 1/2 inch long, but they wanted $8 for it!! And the rest were similar in price.

They are just glass. However, each is handmade and decorated, or at least hand-decorated. The process is pretty tough. It takes a lot of practice to get them right. Also, if you’re shopping at a specialty store that mainly sells beads, don’t forget they have to pay overhead and all that kind of stuff, too, even on that one lovely little bead.

If you are planning to get into beading, I would suggest checking out the Fire Mountain website at www.firemountaingems.com and seeing if they have any lampwork beads you like. Save up your money and your beading needs, because they give a pretty good quantity discount. If you order a total of 15-49 units, you get about 25% to 30% off the regular retail price for 1-14 units. If you order 50 units or more, your discount can get up to 50% on many of the normal items. All the prices are listed for each item. It’s pretty easy to figure out when you’re looking at it.
