Zinc Beads

We have over 250 styles and sizes of metal beads to choose from. Metal beads add a striking visual accent to most beaded jewelry designs. Use our multiple sizes of filigree metal rounds in a matching earring and necklace combination with a coordinated filigree toggle clasp. Try combining our bali style metal beads with bone beads and hemp twine for an eclectic bohemian look. Our metal beads also look great when paired with big-bold handmade glass beads such as Czech lamp glass. *If you are aiming for an antique or victorian look for your jewelry, but feel the metal bead you like is too shiny: simply spray the plated bead with windex or other ammonia based cleaner to dull the shine of the plating!
