Originally from South America, Heishi beads are round and flat, in the shape of rondelles or discs.
Heishi beads are traditionally made from natural materials such as shell, wood and coral. Today, however, Heishi beads are also made from plastic, glass, gemstones, polymer clay, brass, mother-of-pearl or resin to offer a wider variety of textures and colors, while remaining light and easy to handle.
No, Heishi beads are not all the same size. They come in a wide range of sizes and dimensions. Some Heishi beads are smaller and thinner, while others can be wider and thicker. The size of the beads can influence the final appearance of your creation, so make sure you choose the right size for your project. It's also possible to combine different sizes to add texture and variety to your jewelry or accessories.
Heishi beads are generally quite strong, but this depends on the material from which they are made. Resin, glass or plastic beads are generally more durable and less likely to warp under heat or excessive pressure. Wooden or shell beads, on the other hand, can be more fragile and deform more easily if exposed to extreme conditions or intensive use. To preserve their shape, avoid strong pressure or prolonged exposure to humidity.
