Sparkling Sterling Silver European Beads Add Classy Touches

When it is the classic and classy touch that you want to add to any of your jewelry designs, you cannot go wrong with silver European beads by any means! Sure, you might be thinking that these are the same old simple beads that you have seen before. To be honest, that actually is not the case here. Yes, the classic sizes - such as 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 mm - are readily available. Did you also know that sterling silver straight tube and curved tube beads are also available?

Do you know that sterling silver beads that are engraved and/or have other designs on them are also available? There are letter block beads used to spell out names and words out there. Are you specifically looking for very long sterling silver curved tube beads to make that perfect necklace design with? Looking for these is a snap! Most suppliers do carry sterling silver long curved tube beads for this purpose. Some of the shortest lengths for these particular beads start at 1.6 mm by 11.4 mm and top out at 2 mm by 56 mm in length. Now you might be looking at that last number - 56 mm - and trying to figure out what that equates to in inches. It actually translates to just shy of 2 inches long. That is a pretty good length if you really think about it! If you are creating an 8 inch necklace, you would need 3 perhaps 4 of these beads to complete your design. This writer has personally seen necklaces made with beads such as these as the base of the design. Add to these some small 1mm spacer beads to this and you have a simple, yet very elegant design.

Aside from the straight and curved tube beads, you also have barrel-type oblong tube beads that 1mm by 3mm and also 3 mm by 4.4 mm. Those also add a very different touch of classic style to whatever you happen to be making. Add to these some simple and unassuming plain round beads - sizes ranging from 2 to 6 mm - and you have a design that will stand the test of time for certain! You might not fathom the notion that a necklace or bracelet that is made solely of silver European beads would be really beautiful or desirable though.

Imagine, if you can, adding a few flashier silver beads to something as simple as the aforementioned designs. What are we speaking of, you are likely to be inquiring. We speak of rectangular, barrel type silver beads that have sparkly Rhinestones or crystals on their surface. The added sparkle that the previously mentioned beads add to a simple design is absolutely breath-taking! Sometimes people do want a necklace or bracelet that is simply made - using only one type of bead such as the curved tube beads with 2 mm round space. That is a classic and oftentimes very classy design that never really goes "out of style" regardless of the length or time-span it is in your jewelry box!
