Sterling Beads - 3 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. Use with fine and medium (.014 and .019) cable. 3mm By the pack of 10.
