A Better Bottom Line with Promotional-Quality Gemstone Beads

Promo beads are the key to creating jewelry at a lower cost while still offering the value and beauty of gemstones. Fire Mountain Gems and Beads offers an exclusive selection of promo beads, chips and rounds in popular gemstones, including rose quartz, black obsidian, green aventurine, sodalite, red jasper and more. These stones are available in low-cost, bulk packages of ten strands so you can create a gemstone-filled design or an entire line that coordinates.

Promo beads are commercial quality gemstones, usually C-grade. You may receive an occasional bead with some flat spots or mild irregularities in the drilling. There can be minor inconveniences, such as passing up beads that don't match well with the others and positioning beads or using other elements to hide their defects, but the significant price per bead savings is worth it.

Patti, one of our in-house jewelry designers says, "I love working with promo beads and being able to have 4, 6, and 8mm sizes to choose from to build design interesting variations. The number of beads I won't use is minimal. The wide selection of gemstones in the promo beads allows me to use them in many different types of styles and combinations with other beads and components."

It’s easy to see how promotional-quality beads can be the main feature of any jewelry design, including bead stringing, wirework and freeform creations. Promo beads also work well as fillers or spacers. And you have lots of design choices because they are available in a variety of colors and materials.


When coming across any imperfections using promo beads, the majority of flaws can easily be covered with a bead cap. They can also be used in the ‘behind the scene filler beads' without detracting from your design. Your savings from using promo beads mean you can use a more expensive, eye-catching focal to increase the appeal of the finished piece.
