5 Different Ways to Use a 1 Hole Bead

These sterling silver beads are actually hollow balls/spheres with a dimple that resembles a hole. This hole is for attaching to other jewellery components. These balls are very versatile and come in many different sizes.

1. Stud Earrings

Solder on posts and make these silver balls into stud earrings. This is a classic design that can elevate any outfit. If you have multiple lobe piercings, why not stack these studs in sizes?

2. Pendant

Solder on a jumpring or bail and thread the ball on a chain to make a pendant. Play around with stacking up lots of different size balls to make more of a statement or keep it classic with just 1 ball.

3. Adjustable Ring

Solder onto sterling silver 1.5mm round wire and shape and bend the wire to make an adjustable ring. Adding larger beads can make this ring design a real showstopper.

4. Chain Thread Earrings

Solder on jumprings and attach to chain thread earrings. These are a simple but effect variation of a hook wire or stud earring with the post and chain threading through the hole in the ear and dangling down.

5. Another Earring Design

Solder on jumprings and attach to hook wires or hook wires with ball. Adding the beads to hook wires, or stud earring findings that already have a ball detail, can tie an earring design together in a super easy way.
