Beadaholique Sterling Silver Filled Round Beads 6mm vs Beadaholique Sterling Silver Filled Round Beads

These are the same sterling silver filled round bead from Beadaholique in two sizes, so the choice comes down to scale and where the bead sits in a design. The 6mm works as a focal or spacer between larger stones and reads clearly on its own. The 3mm is a subtle spacer for delicate strands and small-hole beads. Build quality is comparable; both are silver filled over a base metal core, not solid 925 throughout, so they wear like plated goods over time.

• Choose the 6mm bead if you need a visible spacer or accent between larger beads, or you are stringing a bolder bracelet or necklace.
• Choose the 3mm bead if you are making delicate, dainty pieces or need a small spacer that will not crowd tiny stones.
