Saucer beads — flat, disc-shaped beads with a wide profile and narrow depth — lie flush against the strand to create smooth, elegant lines in your jewelry. At The Bead Chest we offer saucer beads in metal, glass, bone and gemstone, from tiny spacers to bold focal discs, in a wide range of finishes.

Their shape makes saucer beads incredibly versatile. Used as spacers, they add subtle definition between rounds; strung together, they create a sleek, stacked column that drapes beautifully. They pair naturally with heishi beads for a layered, textural look, or with diamond cut beads for a touch of sparkle.

Many of our most popular saucer beads are handmade Ashanti powder-glass beads from Ghana, each one slightly unique. Whether you're accenting a necklace or building an entire design around their clean geometry, you'll find the right saucer beads here — all by the strand at wholesale prices.
