"Hello, I'm Alan with Expert Village. Selecting your beads like I was saying before is not a difficult thing. You just have to choose on the colors that you want and maybe the shapes and the sizes. The beads are as various as ceramic, glass, metal, even wood. You can get them hand-blown individually made, or you can get mass produced beads. This is just a few of an assortment that you buy, but there are people, again like I said, that prefer a more uniform look in their earrings and they need more beads of a specific type. So when we have that, we simply go to a package that has more of the same kind. They're all uniform size, uniform color and they're all made exactly the same way. There are also natural stones, like these. These are Rose Quartz, and Rose Quartz is a beautiful stone for making jewelry, but you notice they are not all uniform in their shape and size which makes for an interesting pair of jewelry. It’s also an interesting color. Pink is the favorite of most ladies and it's something I enjoy making my jewelry out of. "
