Bali Silver

Bali silver photoHandcrafted in Bali, Indonesia, these beads made wonderful accents for Swarovski crystals, glass or lampworked beads, precious or semi-precious stones. They are also used extensively for silver or silver/gold jewelry pieces and have a rich, antiqued look. You may also see "Bali-style" beads, which are not necessarily handcrafted in Bali, but have many of the same characteristics and the look of true Bali beads.

Bali silver contains slightly less pure silver than Sterling, but is still a very high quality Bali beads come in all sizes, ranging from tiny 2mm spacers to large (18mm or larger) focal beads. Bead detail can be very intricate, look for handcrafted versus cast beads for the highest possible quality.
