Some jewelry designers love our rubber (neoprene) for several reasons. One reason is the many bright colors available, like this vivid fuchsia. Another is that, unlike natural rubber, neoprene will not burn or tarnish silver. Our beautiful fuchsia neoprene rubber is available by the foot so you are not limited to standard jewelry lengths. We at Artbeads.com pride ourselves on offering our customers every option for your artistic creations! The neoprene rubber material is latex-free, so it's safe for anyone to wear!
