Default Etching Beads

I love the beads that are etched and with what looks like the decoration being put on the top of the etched bead. I could be wrong maybe the decoration is under the etched bead. Does anyone know what I"m talking about.
Thank You!

There are several good threads - sandblasting or etch resist. Here's two:

When I looked at the etching technique on the site you mentioned I realized that I had masked off or used glue before on small areas. I haven't used this method for quite some time. Thanks for reminding me!

In trying to etch beads, the glue did not work for me for masking areas. Generic school glue seemed to disintegrate and the whole bead was etched. Is there a particular brand of glue that is commonly used? Thank you!
