Crow Beads, Tile Beads & Other Necklace Beads
Glass & Plastic Crow Beads, 6mm Tile Beads & Necklace Supplies
Crow beads and tile beads are larger bead styles used for necklaces, chokers, breastplates, and many other beadcraft projects. Crazy Crow offers 9mm glass and plastic crow beads, including Czech- and India-made glass choices, plus opaque, transparent, and specialty color options. The 6mm tile beads provide a flatter profile for distinctive jewelry and craft patterns.
Choose glass for its weight and appearance or plastic where lighter weight and cost are important. For smaller stitches and detailed designs, visit glass seed beads; for period-inspired necklaces and accessories, explore trade beads and metal beads.

Crow Beads Compared with Seed Beads
Crow beads are considerably larger than the fine seed beads generally used in close beadwork. Their size and hole make them appropriate for stringing larger accessories and coordinating with other necklace materials.
Glass, Plastic, and Color Choices
Glass beads provide the heft and visual character many makers prefer; plastic versions can be useful for lighter-weight or economical projects. For applications requiring a historic-style look, compare relevant materials and designs rather than assuming all modern colors were used in every era.
