What are Chamalia beads?

Chamilia beads may be the answer to questions you didn't know you had! I know you have jewelry pieces you love but don't you get tired of wearing the same things over and over again? Sure, you can create any number of jewelry pieces but the point is, once you create them the beads cannot be changed. That is, without destroying the piece and starting again. Also, have you noticed that the gift-giving season is almost upon us again? If you have a large number of people on your list, the idea of creating jewelry for each of them may be overwhelming. Fortunately, it doesn't have to be that way.

Chamilia beads, also called pandora beads, are informally named after the founding company, Chamilia. The wonderful idea behind this company was to produce changeable beads that women can use to personalize their jewelry as they wished whenever they wished. These beads have large centers that make it easy to string and remove them as you like. And to do it with style! The beautiful beads are available in valuable elements such as 14K gold, silver and Swarovski crystals.

Here are a few of the Chamalia beads that I like:


And this is how to use the beads: How to Assemble


If you are here, it means you enjoy creating jewelry for yourself or as gifts. The complicated design techniques produce beautiful and unique jewelry but face it, those take a long time! If you are used to working a long time on one piece then it may seem like cheating to create bracelets and necklaces quickly with something so simple. However, if you want something beautiful in a pinch that you can customize everyday then Chamilia beads are the way to go, I think. There is such a large variety of beads that no two compositions will look the same. Have fun with it!
