00:00Ok, so if you've been anywhere near the beading aisle lately, you know faceted crystal beads
00:04are having a serious moment and honestly, the prices online right now are kind of ridiculous.
00:09I spent way too long digging through listings, checking reviews, comparing bead counts,
00:14and I finally narrowed it down to the 5 best deals on faceted crystal beads for jewelry making.
00:19Every single one of these is under 3 bucks. Let's get into it.
00:25First up, the blue multicolor Rondelle Austria style faceted glass beads.
00:30These are the ones I keep coming back to, and I think it's because of the color mix,
00:34there's this soft blue to multicolor shift that catches light beautifully, especially in daylight.
00:39They're rondelle shaped, so they sit flat against each other and give you these really clean,
00:43tight strands with almost no gaps. At $1.64, this is the cheapest one on the list,
00:49and with nearly 5,000 sold and a 4.9 rating, clearly I'm not the only one who noticed.
00:55If you make summer bracelets or anklets, just grab these.
00:59Next, the 8x10mm teardrop faceted K9 crystal beads, and these are the fancy ones.
01:05K9 crystal is a step up in clarity from standard glass, so the faceting actually throws light
01:10instead of just looking shiny. They're top drilled, which is the important part that means
01:15they hang properly as drops without any extra findings or wire wrapping. Perfect for earrings,
01:21pendants, chandelier designs. $2.90 is the priciest pick here, but for something that instantly makes
01:27a piece look store-bought, it's worth it. Then there's the 120-piece crystal glass rondelle
01:33bead lot. This one's all about value. 120 beads for $2.41 works out to about $0.02 a bead,
01:41which is
01:42genuinely hard to beat. They're the classic Austria-style faceted rondelle shape, so they
01:47work as spacers between larger focal beads, or you can string a whole strand of them and let them do
01:52the talking. Honestly, this is the one I'd recommend if you're just starting out and you need a solid
01:57stash of beads to experiment with without committing to one look. Fourth, the black AB rondelle faceted beads,
02:04available in 4, 6, and 8mm. The AB coating is what makes these special, it's that iridescent,
02:11oil-slick rainbow finish over a deep black base, and it looks so much more expensive than it is.
02:16Black goes with everything, so these are the beads you'll actually use up.
02:21273, 4.9 rating, and the multiple size options mean you can mix them within a single design for depth.
02:27Great for anything that needs a little edge.
02:30And last, the 3, 4, 6, and 8mm round faceted colorful glass beads.
02:37This is your everyday workhorse set. Round instead of rondelle, so you get more of a sparkly ball shape,
02:43and that 3mm size is really handy for delicate work and needlework detailing.
02:48207 for a colorful assortment across four sizes is a great deal, and the variety is what sells it,
02:54you can knock out a whole batch of different designs from one order without running back to reorder.
02:59All 5 links are down in the description, so go check the current prices because they do move around.
