CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements 5301 bicone beads are a staple item in every jewelry makerĘs supply box. Aquamarine, a shade of aqua blue that can be likened to waters in the tropics, is a wonderful color that works best for your summer designs or for jewelry that you plan on wearing during your upcoming trip to Hawaii. Match these beads with sterling silver chain or a nice pendant and itĘs difficult to go wrong. This color comes in many different sizes, but this particular bead is 4mm. This is a nice size, and a very common size that is easily accented by silver bead caps or sterling silver round beads. Because this bead is so versatile, one shouldnĘt hesitate to mix them with freshwater pearls, glass beads, and even gemstone beads. One place they are often found are in motherĘs bracelets and name bracelets, used as filler beads between sterling silver
alphabet beads, which can be found in the alphabet beads section of our website. If you have learned how to wire loop, you can use these beads to make links that can be chained together to make a variety of jewelry designs or components of complex necklaces.
