Sterling Silver Melon Bead

The elongated shape of this sterling silver oval bead offers texture to strung designs that incorporate other bead shapes. Melon beads tend to draw the eye from bead to bead along the strands and are ideal on their own or for complementing other elements in bracelets and necklaces and for creating drop or dangle designs for earrings. The bead features a bright, smooth finish.
