STERLING SILVER
Including beads of various shapes and sizes, hogan beads, noodle beads and more. |
New designer beads lend themselves to a wide range of possibilities. Several styles support two strands for some very unusual design options. Double beads are either tubes which are soldered together so the holes go in different directions, or tubes with rings soldered onto them, so that you can take your design off into different directions. |

5.5mm size |
LETTER CUBES |
Our sterling heishi is electroplated to retard tarnishing and ensure the bright finish. All three styles have an .008" wall thickness, a .045" outer diameter and a .029" inside diameter.

A soldered seam creates a handmade look. |

These tubes have a soldered loop or ring in their centers. Work these beads into your necklace or bracelet design. Add dangles to the rings. These are also great for placing in the middle of your string of beads on a necklace, when dangling a pendant from this focal central place on the piece. This will support the pendant better, make the string less likely to break, and "round" out this base of the necklace, so it lays in a more flattering way.

Design with a twist! Twister beads are a unique and effortless way to hold your twisted, multiple strand designs in place. Simply string the first strand using a twister every four or five beads. Then string the second strand, leading the chain or cord through the twsiter from below and pulling it snug. |
