Channel Beads

Description

Channel Beads made of recycled solid sterling silver 925. Perfect for creating European style bracelets like Chamilia and Pandora. More photos coming soon!

Very simple design, we also sell dangle charm settings for Euro bracelets too. You can use a lathe to turn the bead when adding resin to get it to cure evenly but this is usually only necessary with epoxy resin. If you use UV resin you can put the channel bead onto a holder (I use reverse action tweezers, which seem to fit but you might try a chopstick or other tool), then turn by hand as it cures for the first ten seconds or so. Video coming soon!
