Cuentas de plástico y resina.

Resin beads generally allow for more complex visual effects such as marbling, inclusions, tortoiseshell effects, or nuanced transparencies. Acrylic beads are often lighter, more uniform, and offer particularly vibrant colors. The choice primarily depends on the desired style and the intended look for the jewelry.

Resin beads are generally more resistant to impacts and drops than glass beads. They are also much lighter for the same diameter. However, glass often offers better scratch resistance and a more mineral shine. Resin beads are therefore particularly suitable for large jewelry or creations intended to be handled frequently. Their lightness is appreciated for earrings

Plastic and resin beads are compatible with most mounting supports: elastic thread, sheathed wire, jade thread, polyester cords, cotton cords, and metal rods. The choice primarily depends on the diameter of the drill hole and the type of jewelry being made. For colorful bracelets and children's jewelry, elastic thread generally remains the most common solution.
