| As shown in this example, many types of beads can be used with sterling silver beading chain. Sterling beads as small as 2mm will work, as well as India Glass beads, 6/0 seed beads, most Czech Glass beads and even many Gemstone beads! Beads used should have hole sizes of about 0.75mm and up (to leave a bit of space for the chain to slip through). When crimping the crimp end loops with this chain, use a dab of glue (for extra security) and crimp using the lower crimping position on your crimping pliers (a small needle nosed plier will also work). |
