Tibetan Silver In ancient Tibet, jewellery was made by hammered the back of coinage-silver plate, to create a design in relief on the other side. Today, Tibetan Silver still has an antique silver finish like pewter - but is an alloy of copper and tin, with no actual silver. Hence the great value of these type of findings. They make very attractive jewellery.
We've tested some of these beads and can confirm they're both nickel ,cadmium and lead free. Like most metal, including silver, oxygen will tarnish them over time - they can be brightened with silver cleaner. For a higher-quality finding, see our Pure Silver Beads.
Findings Findings are essential for creating any kind of functional jewellery - bringing sparkle, like music in a movie. The must-have items for jewellery making are:
Spacers to enhance your focal beads, without drawing too much attention to themselves. They also make jewellery longer, economizing on your cost.
You need wires to string the beads onto, and crimp beads to secure the ends.
Clasps for necklaces or bracelets, and jump rings to attach those clasps.
For earrings you need ear wires.
Jewellery created with metal beads looks more professional, and so will be easier to sell.
