Sterling silver beads work wonders in making the jewelry piece look different and makes you stand out from the gang. There are numerous ways in which these beads can be used. It is for you to experiment what works best for you or choose from a range of styles to look different each day. There are different types of sterling silver beads:
• Corrugated or folded type: These are hollow with a donut shape and tube like to look at. These are mostly used in between beads as spacers. The corrugations can spiral around the bead or be a simple line along the bead. These are slightly rough and set off the jewelry piece well. The 3mm to 7mm range is the commonly used size for these beads.
• Israel casting beads: These come in many shapes, the barrel or flower shape being more common and trendy. These can be used along with round beads.
• Bali beads style: This is one of the most popular sterling silver beads in use and comes in a variety of shapes and sizes ranging from coin, heart, saucer, square, oval, hexagon and many more. These beads are exotic and add a touch of tribal look to any jewelry piece. There is a good scope for experimentation with these beads.
• Round and smooth type: These sterling silver beads are round in shape and smooth to feel. These are for those seeking a more classic look. These beads are usually strung together for the traditional effect. These go well in between corrugated beads. Round beads are commonly available but they still look good and classy.
• Fancy or modern style: These sterling beads are different as they are not spherical in shape. They may be cut or set with crystals. They may even be like saucers in shape with corrugations. They are fancier to look at and can be worn on occasions.
• Roundel type: These sterling silver beads are flat on the sides and not rounded. These beads act well as spacers or accents for any jewelry. They break the monotony of a design and accentuate it.
• Stardust style: These beads are mostly used as spacers and have a rough texture. They set off smooth beads well. They range in sizes from 0.01mm to 6.3mm.
• Satin finish or sandblast beads: These beads have a dull finish and go well side by side with shiny beads. Only satin beads also look good for that antique look.
•Mirror-cut or laser cut beads: These beads are cut in a way to catch and reflect light from any angle. These really set off any jewelry piece and help to achieve the shimmering look. These beads are available in round and rice shape.
