Sterling Beads - 4 mm Smart Beads - Sterling (10)
Smart beads - here's a new idea. Smart beads are lined with a silicone compound that grabs onto the beading wire and makes them not want to slide. Great - you say. Hard to thread beads - I can hardly wait. But that's not the point. The point is that you can slide them to where you want them, and they stay there! So - illusion necklaces w/o the clunky crimps. New design ideas. Use it to keep that single centered bead centred. All kinds of ideas. Also works on chain. 4mm By the pack of 10.
