How to use and store Arcos Beads?

Arcos beads are preferred by jewelry lovers all around the world because of their distinctive shape and colors. These beads are made via a traditional bead-making process where glass is broken down into small pieces to melt and then to shape to form beautiful beads.

 

These beads are crescent-shaped and are equipped with three holes. They have a unique hole placement which sets them apart from other bead types. Jewelry makers can create beautiful jewelry pieces by combining Arcos beads with other bead types such as Amos beads or Minos beads.

 

Tips for using and storing Arcos beads

Arcos beads are fragile and therefore have to be carefully handled to create jewelry. Moreover, it is slightly different from other beads as it has three holes instead of two. However, knowing workarounds and handling ways can help jewelry makers work with this bead with ease: -

 

1.  Check whether all three holes are unblocked: - It is essential to check whether all three are unblocked. Dirt and oil can sometimes accumulate in the bead hole entrances and that can prevent the bead wires from entering the bead.

2.  Make sure that the beading wire is entering from the right side: - The beading wire must enter the bead from the right side to ensure that the alignment of the ornament is correct.

3.  Make sure to arrange the unused beads: - Unused beads should be neatly arranged according to sizes and colors to facilitate proper sorting of beads. Moreover, finished and unfinished jewelry should also be stored separately to avoid tangling and scratching.
