This striated olive-colored bead with a fine silver plating adds an elegant and refined touch to your DIY costume jewelry creations. String it onto your threads, chains, or findings to create necklaces and bracelets with a timeless style.
Its elongated, tapered shape—measuring 21x9 mm—is accentuated by regular grooves that run across the entire surface, creating a structured textural effect. The through-hole allows for easy stringing onto most materials.
What can you do with this grooved bead?
It fits easily into beaded bracelet designs by threading it onto elastic or waxed thread, either on its own or paired with natural stone beads to create a contrast in materials. For a delicate, minimalist bracelet, take inspiration from this slim bangle and adapt it with this silver-tone version. It’s also perfect for creating spacer-bead necklaces by alternating it with other elements on a cable wire or a fine chain. Its ribbed texture adds character even in minimalist designs.
