“If you remember that beauty is layered, then harmony will follow you.”
Cat’s eye glass beads captivate with their vibrant colors and mesmerizing chatoyancy, resembling the glow of natural cat’s eye gemstones. These beads feature a luminous line of light, or “cat’s eye” effect, that moves across the surface as the bead shifts. This striking optical illusion occurs when light reflects off tiny, parallel fibers or metallic inclusions within the glass.
Artisans craft cat’s eye glass beads by embedding fine fiber-optic glass strands or metallic salts into molten glass. This precise arrangement creates the chatoyant effect, simulating the natural brilliance of gemstones like chrysoberyl. After molding, they cut and polish the beads to enhance their smooth finish and reflective quality. These beads come in a range of vibrant colors, from deep blues and greens to warm yellows and soft pastels, each amplifying the luminous glow.
Cat’s eye glass beads bring an enchanting quality to jewelry, making them popular in necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Their shimmer adds elegance to both bold statement pieces and subtle accents. Jewelers often pair them with silver, gold, or other gemstones to highlight their unique glow. These versatile beads complement various styles, including boho, minimalist, and vintage designs.
Cat’s eye glass beads symbolize intuition, protection, and clarity, much like their natural counterparts. Their affordability and beauty attract jewelry enthusiasts seeking a magical, eye-catching look without the higher cost of natural gemstones.
Handle cat’s eye glass beads gently to preserve their brilliance and unique chatoyancy. Store them away from sunlight, moisture, and harsh chemicals. Use a soft cloth for cleaning, avoiding abrasives that could dull their shine. Proper care ensures these beads remain luminous and long-lasting in any jewelry collection.

Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the stainless steel components (hooks, pins, daisies, and caps). For glass, ceramic, and stone beads, gently wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid soaking any part of the earrings in water. A soft-bristled toothbrush can be used to gently clean intricate areas.
Storage: Store earrings in a dry, cool environment, ideally in a jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratches and dust buildup. To prevent tangling or abrasion, keep earrings separated from other jewelry items, especially those with sharp edges or rough surfaces.
Stainless Steel Care: Stainless steel is durable but can still tarnish over time if exposed to moisture or harsh chemicals. Wipe the stainless steel components occasionally with a jewelry cloth designed for metals to maintain their shine. Avoid exposure to perfumes, lotions, or other substances that could cause discoloration.
Stone and Bead Care:
General Durability: While these earrings are designed for everyday wear, avoid wearing them while sleeping, exercising, or performing heavy tasks that might cause impact. Always check the integrity of the hooks and pins before wearing to ensure they are secure.
6 & 10mm beads, in some cases the size of the stone beads may vary +-1mm. Hook lengths range between 1cm basic hooks, 1.5+cm English Locks, 2cm silver hooks – refer to the product photos. In newer designs, the stainless steel spacer daisies, bead caps and small beads contribute 3-4mm extra length (refer to product photo) In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the overview tab. Note that some earring hooks have thicker wires, and if you are not used to wearing earrings daily, using them will feel uncomfortable in the beginning. Oathfeed Classic Design
