Sterling 8mm Smart Bead
Smart Beads firmly clutch chain, wire, leather or fibers with their silicone lined Bead Positioning System. The designer can slide them to any point in their design and reposition if the placement is not just right. Smart Beads' inner liner will hold the bead wherever it is positioned. Smart Beads are great for holding ear threads into place.

Pros: Size, Color
Cons: Quality
"The beads look wonderful. However one of them fit nice and snug as it should and the other was extremely loose and slides around easily on its own so it can't possibly hold anything in place."

Two in one!
Date:January 3, 2012
Pros: Size, Price, Versatile, Ease of Use, Quality
"Adds an elegant touch of silver to necklaces and bracelets while holding the beads in the desired position. Particularly nice because beads stay all around the bracelet and don't all fall to the "bottom" as your hand and arm move.
Just wish they were available in larger sizes..."

Brilliant Design

Pros: well designed
"A pleasant surprise and a brilliant design.
I love these little beauties. I ordered them to have available to my Etsy customers at BellaLinaBoutique.etsy.com when they are putting together their pandora "style" bracelets. They work great! Kept a couple for myself and they look fabulous. Easy to use. A no brainer. Snug fit. Just what was needed."

Tricky
Date:August 27, 2010
Pros: Price, Quality
Cons: Size, Ease of Use
Creation: I used it with my Caspia bracelet
"These were bigger than I had thought and looked quite large as stoppers on my Caspia bracelet. They were very tight and I worried about breaking the bracelet when I put them on, and now I'm a little nervous about moving them. They do work well at keeping the beads in place and are very pretty. They blend with the other beads."
