The elongated shape of this 14/20 yellow gold-filled melon bead offers texture to strung designs that incorporate other bead shapes. The bead features a corrugated texture, creating more surface area that catches and reflects light, giving the bead a dynamic appearance and adds texture to strung designs. 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. Gold-filled beads deliver karat gold at a more affordable cost than solid gold, allowing you to design with the touch of precious metal customers look for and to offer your designs at a price customers appreciate.
