About Grace Lampwork Beads

All of our handmade lampwork glass beads are designed by Grace Ma, a self-taught lampworker with a passion for detail and artistry. Grace began making beads in October 2002, and just three months later, she started selling her creations on eBay. In July 2004, she participated in her first bead show—The Whole Bead Show in San Francisco—which opened the door to a wider audience and new opportunities.

As demand grew, Grace trained a team of skilled artisans to help produce her designs. Today, Grace Lampwork Beads are featured in major bead shows across the United States and carried by over 50 stores nationwide.

We create our beads using premium Venetian and German glass, following a strict quality control process. Every bead is kiln-annealed overnight for strength and durability. Small beads take 5–10 minutes each to make, ensuring the intricate detail and craftsmanship that mass-produced beads can’t match. At Grace Lampwork Beads, we believe in balancing speed and quality to maintain our consistent, high standards.

Grace is committed to lifelong learning, constantly exploring new techniques and creative designs. With the support of her talented team, she focuses on creating unique beads while keeping prices affordable compared to other artisan beads of similar quality.

I love to share my vision, designs, happiness and success with others. With my beads, you can turn them into a piece of beautiful unique jewelry. There is too much similarity in the commercial world. My unique lampwork beads will show off your own character and personality, and this will make you feel good.
