3mm Seamed Round Small Hole Bead (Sterling Silver)

This pretty 3mm round sterling silver bead could be just what you need for that necklace or bracelet design you are dreaming up. This dainty bead features a small hole design, which prevents slippage of smaller beads or other material into its center. It has a barely visible seam that makes the manufacturing process less expensive than traditional seamless round beads. If you don't mind a bead with a subtle line, these beads are a great way to save a bit of money on your staple jewelry components. Get this gorgeous bead today or browse the silver bead section.

Always Good
Date:November 7, 2011
Pros: Size, Price, Versatile, Ease of Use, Quality
Creation: These are a staple - a must have - in jewelry making. I sometimes use silver glass if I'm worried about tarnish, but these are my go-to guys for earrings.

The perfect little bead
Date:May 24, 2010
Pros: Price, Quality, Versatile, Ease of Use
Other beading styles or techniques: stringing
Creation: bracelets
"I purchased this, expecting to use it in some of my kid's pieces, since children do have a tendancy to lose, break, etc., jewelry. I tend to use the more expensive components in things made for adults. I got quite a nice surprise, however, when these arrived... the seam in them is nearly invisible to the naked eye. I will be ordering some without the seam to compare them side by side, but I'm fairly certain there won't be much of a difference! These little beads are beautiful for all uses."

"I used these little 3 mm silver beads for one of my many silver bracelts, I addded bigger beads inbetween the the 3 mm beads (also silver) to give it a different twist, the silver small bracelets look great on your wrist especially when you have a tan and are easy to sleep with and use every day with out taking off."
