About Gracebeads.com
All of their handmade lighting glass beads are designed by self-taught lighting worker Grace Ma. Grace started making beads in October 2002. Three months later, she began selling her beads on Gracebeads.com. In July 2004, Grace began selling at her first jewelry show—the entire jewelry show in San Francisco. This show opened a whole new world door for her. She started training her employees to make glass beads. Today, you can find Grace Lampwork glass beads in most major glass bead exhibitions in the United States and in more than 50 stores. Grace lighting beads are developed through strict quality control process. Gracebeads.com use Venetian glass and German glass. All their beads are annealed overnight to ensure better strength. Each small bead takes 5-10 minutes to make. Other beads on the market are made faster, but they lose the quality and detail of the design.
