By Larry Jackson


Beads are used in decorations and are made from materials such as stones and bones. To fit them into the required place drilling has to be done to ensure tight fitting. Stone settings are of different types. Bead setting is one of these types. Other types are burnish, bezel, channel and prong setting. Unique beaded sets enhance creativity, to be an independent thinker and to think critically rather than always doing what others do.

There many developmental advantages of beading to both young and the old. Working with beads of different sizes promotes different grasps ability. It helps in stressing both small and larger muscles. It promotes both visual memory and visual discrimination. One must remember the bead to use so as to attain a specific pattern of interest and the visual discrimination helps in selecting the bead that best suits the desired image.

For successful beading there must be a good coordination between the hand and the eyes. Hence, the procedure generally helps one acquire this ability. It promotes cognitive skills. Efficient planning is required to come up with an attracting pattern that is unique. Mathematical skills applied in the process are unforgettable. The size of necklace has to be determined together with the number of beads that will be enough for the process.

When children engage in beading they share the beads together with their future plans. This is socializing. Hence the beading helps children acquire social skills. The fact that beading improves dressing skills is unforgettable. Self-confidence together with self-esteem is acquired on accomplishment of the procedure. It is a kind of fun.

Materials used during setting are, metal plate, stone and a component with which to be set with stones. The tools used are, ball bur, bead tool, bench vise, setting bur, drill bits round graver, flex shaft and a jet set. Some of these materials are very sharp and should be used with care.

To commence the process, arrange the stones into the desired pattern. The pattern to perform and the diameter of the stone should guide when deciding the spacing. The precision should be factor not to forget when the seats are being cut. The sizes of holes should neither be too small nor too large.

Always check the fitting as you progress with the process. It is good to maintain tight fitting since it is the most appropriate as the loose fitting could be the major source of problems as one proceeds. Determine the correct depth of seat that is most appropriate. Onglette graver is used to cut the line whose depth is equal to the depth of seat. By making cuts using onglette graver isolate the beads. Cleaning of the seat is done with setting bur by simply cutting the seat once more.

The brush pusher is then used to ensure the stone sits nicely. Then raise of the beads is the next step followed by forming the beads. During this stage much force is unnecessary. Indeed, the bead making is awesome. Bead jewelry is used to decorate clothing mainly worn in weddings traditional festivals and also in social engagements.
