Silver plated pewter is a great bead for the money but if I use them, I have found that I need to educate my customers on how "costume" jewlery can fade, tarnish and oxidize in the air and with body chemistry. A lot of my customer in the past were getting upset becuase the silver luster was fading. Turns out, that's just the way it is. Once they understood the chemistry behind this, they were better, but if I sell a bracelet using these beads, I make sure they uynderstand that the fading process is normal and expected.

Great bead, fast shipping!

Great for necklaces and bracelets. Minor dulling over time but probably due to Pewter.

I am sold on these beads. They are perfect for inexpensive designs that you don't need sterling silver for. They are very shiny and pretty. I love them.

The pewter costs less and most of the time do not look good but these are great and at a great prices to add ur name or childrens name to any jewerly.

great quality!

received quickly and in excellent condition
