Introduction

Introduction

Round Steel G beads are precision-crafted cylindrical spacers with a smooth, polished surface. Their clean lines and subtle metallic sheen make them a versatile choice for adding structure and contemporary edge to any bracelet composition.

Each bead is formed from high-quality round steel bar stock, precisely cut and then polished to achieve a uniform cylindrical shape with a smooth, reflective finish. The 'G' designation indicates a specific gauge or size standard, ensuring consistency in diameter and hole size for easy stringing.
