Beads can be found in different shapes. Some natural beads have their own shapes such as pearl beads are generally round beads. However, other natural beads like those made from stones are given different shapes by cutting and polishing. In fact, gemstone cutting is considered an art that gives birth to faceted beads of oval, square, triangular and many other different shapes. Those made from other materials like stone, plastic, acrylic or glass beads are given shapes according to their targeted usage. For example animal beads, flower beads and heart beads etc. are made mostly for kids craft and jewelery. This section includes different shapes of beads and their features.
