Women in general love jewelry. It enhances their beauty and elegance. However, they can be very expensive. It’s a good thing lucite beads were made available in the market for cheaper accessories. These were very popular as “Jelly Belly Jewelry” in the 1950s.

Lucite beads are made of Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and they are often regarded as “plastic beads”. Compared to plastics, they are relatively lighter in weight. They have a crystal-clear appearance as that of a glass. It has been observed that there are no seams in the beads but most of the lucite beads are carved out of tubes of lucite.
