Round bead, 3mm, 925 Sterling Silver

A single solid 925 sterling silver bead, round and about 3mm across, with a polished bright-silver finish that catches the light on its rounded surface.

Sterling silver beads this size are the workhorses of a bead box: they sit between gemstone or glass beads as bright accents, cap off a stretch-cord or wire bracelet, or add a touch of silver to a stack of fine beaded strands. Because it is solid sterling rather than plated, it will not flake or wear through — a quick polish with a silver cloth brings the shine straight back.

Sterling silver tarnishes naturally over time. Store dry and polish with a soft silver cloth.
