Bali Silver Bead with Flattened Loops

This beautiful Bali silver bead is made from loops of flattened and twisted wire which show off its hollow center. You'll love the delicate feeling that these beads have, but you'll also appreciate their high-quality. Stringing a few of these beads together will create a beautiful necklace design, but using just one of these beads is great as a focal piece in earrings. Bali beads and components are comprised of .925 sterling silver and are all hand-crafted by silversmiths in Bali, Indonesia, who have honed their craft over generations. As such, there may be slight variation in bead size, form, hole size and oxidation.

"This is one of my favorite little beads so far. I love that it has a hollow center that you can see through and the beads are not so big that they over-power the design....they compliment it! I made a necklace with these elegant little beads!"

Pretty silver bead!
Date:February 14, 2012
Pros: Size, Versatile, Unique, Ease of Use, Quality
Cons: Price
"Sterling silver is always nice! These beads are so intricate and delicate-looking, but yet substantial. They will look wonderful in a Rosary! And they will go with any color! I think they will look best with a simple round bead that doesn't detract from their "center stage" appearance, but just gives them a splash of color. Of course, sterling silver is pricey now, but if you can catch them on a good sale, worth the investment."

For a necklace reminiscent of the antiquities
Date:May 12, 2011
Pros: Versatile, Unique, Ease of Use
"This hollow bead provides a classical and ornate touch to a necklace which need only contain other relatively simple beads. The finish may appear a touch darker compared to the picture, but its size is workable in tandem with a variety of bead sizes. It is also a sturdy bead, without looking too rustic or heavy."

"I'm returning these beads because they over-powered the bracelet I was making. They look much prettier and delicate on line than in person."

"I really love these silver beads. They have the wonderful rope pattern that is so popular and you can see through the beads which I think adds to the fun detail of these smaller beads. Absolutely worth buying!!"

Very pretty!
Date:March 28, 2009
Pros: Quality, Size, Unique, Color, Versatile, Ease of Use
"I was actually a little surprised when I got these in the mail. The photo shows them as sort of a bright silver, when actually they are dark oxidized (like the photos of the "related' items, below the product photo). I actually like them much better than what shows in the photo. They are very elegant and a great size. Not too small, which shows a lot of detail. Not too large, so they don't over power any of the jewelry designs. A great bead! I will definitely be ordering these again! =)"
