These Gold Filled (laminated gold) stopper beads secure your jewelry by holding charms, beads, or pendants in place on a cord or chain. They’re ideal for creating adjustable bracelets and necklaces or minimalist jewelry, with a durable, tarnish-resistant gold finish.
A rubber washer is hidden inside each bead, which is round, smooth, and shiny. Its 0.6 mm diameter hole allows a fine wire to be threaded through it. The metal has warm yellow highlights, similar to solid gold, and pairs easily with other Gold Filled components. This material consists of a thick layer of gold laminated onto a base metal, giving it excellent durability over time. With a diameter of 3 mm, this bead is understated and ideal for delicate designs. It is sold in bags of 10.
How do you use these stopper beads?
These stopper beads allow you to create a sliding bracelet without knots. Simply slide a bead onto each end of a nylon thread or thin waxed cord to adjust the length as desired. They can also be used to secure a pendant in the desired position on a necklace, or to space small beads evenly along a string.
