Pros: Quality, Unique, Color
Cons: Price, Size
Other beading styles or techniques: Jewelry Designer
Creation: Earrings
"I found it very beautiful in textured and color good for earring, necklace and bracelet designs, but quite hard to work with.
One problem was the hole, it would only take a 4mm crystal, so if you would like to try any other material or size it would not fit or look right.
Plus my head pins would go right through the hole.

"I used this bead to create a pendant that I strung on beautiful silk thread from art beads. The ring bead was good quality wise but I could not find a bead that would fit the hole. I did manage to place a 5mm crystal in the center. Nevertheless the necklace looks elegant!"

"I used this Swarovski bead as a focal point in my necklace design. Although I am addicted to Swarovski AB crystals (Aurora Borealis crystal color) this one still has a nice classic finish. I had to find the right bead to fit inside the hole and another beader was having a hard time finding one too. I used a 4mm round Swarovski Crystal (AB of course!) and it fit but I had to bend up my wire a little bit to get it just right.
Would make a great bracelet!
