What are half drilled beads?

A half drilled bead is drilled to a centre point. The great thing about half drilled beads is that the drill hole conceals the fitting, which results in the bead being the most prominent feature in your design. Use half drilled beads with our range of setting to easily create earrings, charms, rings and pendants.

What glue do I use with half drilled beads?

Our recommended glue for most of your jewellery making needs is Devcon Epoxy 5 Minute Glue. When using with half drilled beads, add a dab of glue onto a peg or your chosen half drilled bead setting, set your chosen bead and leave to dry. This glue is fast drying and high strength, plus you can use it on a range of other materials such as ceramic, metal and wood - making it handy for other crafts too.

What Our Customers Say...

Lynn Carson

I bought the sand dollar charm to make a holiday bracelet. It’s really lovely, subtle and pretty detail. Perfect piece and exactly as described.

Frank Wilson

I have grown as a jewellery maker over the last year or so due to the encouragement the team have given me - they are all experienced jewellery makers or keen crafters. They have helped to guide me through my inventory, offered helpful tips and advice on all manner of silver working.

Lydia Farrow

Just to say that I have always had the best possible results for every order - however small and all your products are of excellent quality.

Hi, just a quick email to thank you for my cross and chain - I love it. What a speedy service - ordered it yesterday and wearing it tonight. Thank you very much.

Catriona

Thank you for my recent order as I'm blown away by all the lovely pieces. I don't really know what to start work on first. Thank you for supplying top quality items on a easy to use website.

I added a special request for moonstones with strong blue/green flashes and received 3 briolettes which were exactly that - some of the prettiest moonstones I’ve seen. Thank you!
