Glass beads can be made into many different things. Beads can be used for necklaces, lampshades, pretty much anything someone could want, anything one could imagine.
Italian glass blowing techniques such as latticinio and zanfirico are adapted here to make beads. Furnace glass uses large decorated canes built up out of smaller canes, encased in clear glass and then extruded to form the beads with linear and twisting stripe patterns. No air is blown into the glass. These beads require a large scale glass furnace and annealing (glass) kiln for manufacture.
The most sustainable beads are pearl beads. They are much stronger and last much longer than glass beads. This is one of the reasons they cost more than glass beads.

YES! Because when you heat the mixture of water and glass beads up at boiling temperature, the water will evaporate and leave the glass beads behind. =-)
If you tap your glass bead on glass it will make a "sharp" sound. If you tap your bead on glass and it makes a "dull" sound, it is most likely not made of glass.

Technically there are only one type of glass beads. The reasoning behind this is because there is only one type of glass, which would actually just be glass.
