NOT really 1/2 ounce!!
Date:October 28, 2010
Pros: Quality, Versatile, Ease of Use
Cons: Price, Size
Other beading styles or techniques: Native American jewelry repair
Creation: Repair necklaces.
"HERE is the rub: silver is ALWAYS sold by the Troy Ounce!! These are NOT. The weight, in grams, for four "1/2 ounce bags--bag and then net without the bage--are:
14.54-14.24, 14.48, 14.18, 14.48-14.15, and 14.40-14.06. A Troy Ounce weighs 31.103 (or 31.1) grams per OT. A half ounce should net 15.55 Grams.
An avoidupois ounce (call it a "postal" or "kitchen" ounce) weighs 28.4 Grams. One-half ounce of this should be 14.2 grams. You can see the inconsistency above. Three bags don't even make 1/2 of that ounce.
At approximately 37 pieces/gram that is a loss of about 8" of strung material; of 1/3 of a strand.
For repairing old Native American items this is great. Thisan extremely hard to find item any more.
Conversely, given the current price of silver, it is difficult to use these to make a new piece for sale. You just have to catch this on sale. A one-ounce bag price would be nice!"

"I love these beads, they are sterling silver, and make my jewelry look like chain without having to buy chain. Artbeads.com has them cheaper than any other jewelry website I have found.
Thanks~!"

a great find!
Date:August 11, 2006
"These liquid silver beads are fine, uniform,and were exactly what I have been having a hard time finding. I am extremely pleased and think they are a better value than those at the local place I usually find my silver beads in bulk. Their quality is not surpassed by any others I've seen."
