For beads jewelry making, the first decision is often natural stone versus glass. The Assorted Natural Stone Beads set offers natural, multicolor beads with varied shapes and sizes, while the 636pcs Glass Beads Jewelry Making Kit supplies hundreds of rainbow-colored crystal beads in one package. The real difference is the material, the piece count, and the look you are going for.
Quick verdict
For most crafters who want volume and a playful palette, the 636pcs Glass Beads Jewelry Making Kit is a strong pick. If you want natural stone texture and varied shapes for statement pieces, the Assorted Natural Stone Beads is the one to choose.
Price comparison
Here's how the two bulk beads sets compare at their listed prices:
| Item | Listed price | Price bar |
| Assorted Natural Stone Beads | USD 13.56 | |
| 636pcs Glass Beads Jewelry Making Kit | USD 12.46 | |
That puts the two sets about $1.10 apart at their listed prices. If your main concern is the look and feel of the finished piece, the material difference matters more than the dollar spread. If your focus is production volume and color variety, the glass kit's stated 636-piece count gives you a clear supply to work with.

- More pieces in one kit: The 636pcs Glass Beads Jewelry Making Kit includes 636 beads, which gives you a clear baseline for multi-color projects.
- Natural stone material and shape variety: The Assorted Natural Stone Beads feature natural gemstone beads in shapes like irregular chips, rounds, drops, cubes, hearts, and abacus, with sizes listed from 5mm to 18mm.
Product notes
Assorted Natural Stone Beads for Jewelry Making
The Assorted Natural Stone Beads set brings together multicolor natural gemstone beads in a mix of shapes: irregular chips, round beads, drops, cubes, hearts, and abacus. The listed size range is 5mm-18mm, and each bead has a drilled 1.0mm hole. This set is a good fit for bracelets, earrings, tree of life projects, and handmade gifts, especially if you're drawn to varied textures. That makes it a good match for projects where natural variation is part of the charm. Keep in mind that the 5mm-18mm range means bead sizes can vary noticeably, so for uniform bracelets you may need to sort them first.
636pcs Glass Beads Jewelry Making Kit
The 636pcs Glass Beads Jewelry Making Kit packs 636 colorful rainbow crystal glass beads into one set, with crackle, lampwork, faceted, and bicone designs. The irregular shapes and rainbow mix give you plenty of variety for bracelets, earrings, and mixed-media crafts. However, the same colorful, irregular assortment means it is not ideal if you want a single-color or uniform bead supply; you'll be working with a deliberately varied palette. If your project needs a large volume of beads in many colors, the 636-piece count is a key advantage. That makes it easy to start several projects at once.
Final choice by use case
- For natural jewelry with a stone aesthetic, choose the Assorted Natural Stone Beads. It is listed at USD 13.56, and you get natural gemstone beads in multiple shapes and a 5mm-18mm size range.
- For high-volume colorful crafts, choose the 636pcs Glass Beads Jewelry Making Kit. It is listed at USD 12.46, and it provides 636 crystal glass beads in a rainbow of colors.
