Hill Tribe Silver Hammered Tube Beads
Add texture to your designs with this Hill Tribe silver hammered tube bead. The bead is thin with a hole large enough for stringing onto wire. The entire surface is covered in randomly placed irregular dents that give it an organic feel. Try it with turquoise chips or as a spacer between larger glass beads. Each tube bead is handmade by a Thai artisan using typically between 95-99% pure silver. Be sure to browse the rest of our Hill Tribe silver items.

Pros: Price, Quality, Unique, Ease of Use
Cons: not too versatile this look is very "rustic"
Other beading styles or techniques: bead stringing,metalsmithing, wire wrapping
Creation: bracelet
"These hammered tubes are really nice. They are thicker and heavier than I'd expected. They have a natural, simple appeal. I will use them in a bracelet design, as bracelet components can typically take a "beating" and I have no doubt these will hold up nicely."

Nice, 'organic feel' piece
Date:May 15, 2010
Pros: Price, Quality, Unique, Color, Versatile, Ease of Use
Cons: Size
"I like the spacer a lot! It's relatively simple, not shiny, and has an organic feel. I wish it was a bit bigger, so that a leather cord, at least 1.5mm could go through (you can still fit 1mm though). I'm going to use it in a long strand (so mostly in vertical position) with natural shaped semiprecious stones and Hill Tribe simple leave beads."
