Small granulations running along the center of this 8mm Metallite® antique gold granulated oval bead provide it with beautiful detail. The granulations are accented on either side by thin slashes. Use these beads to complement fire-polished Czech glass or gemstone beads. Their antique finish makes them perfect for any design with a vintage feel. These high quality beads are metal-plated plastic, making them incredibly lightweight so don't be afraid to string a bunch of them together. Thanks to their light weight and low cost, Metallite beads are great for craft projects and children's jewelry designing.
