All items on this page are all Silver Plated (sometime abbreviated 'SP'). All items are base metal covered by a Silver electroplated finish. Items come from several manufacturers, so finish colors, thicknesses and weights may vary.
All of the plated beads in this top section will have a faint seam (not suitable for crimping). Silver Plated Clasps & Findings (including crimps) may be found toward the bottom of this page. Plated beads are sold by weight (ounces or grams). Manufacturing tolerances for interior thickness are not tightly controlled on these beads, so the number of beads listed is only an approximation and can vary +/- 15% (especially in the larger sizes). Please note that you are buying these beads by weight, not by number of beads. Estimates of the number of beads in a package is only provided for your convenience and is an approximation only.
