Add a neutral, sophisticated touch to your jewelry with this 23.5 x 5 mm Swarovski Column 5535 bead in Crystal Silver Shade.
The Crystal Silver Shade offers a slightly silvery translucency that highlights the facets without imposing a color that’s too pronounced. The elongated shape, measuring 23.5 x 5 mm, gives this bead a very graphic look and allows you to play with vertical or horizontal lines in a design. Column Beads feature two parallel holes, making them easy to incorporate into double-strand designs and allowing you to create structured, original jewelry. Their light shade also serves as an excellent transition between colored, metallic, or natural beads.
