Even one tube is fabulous in a bracelet, or as a centre point in a necklace. Lovely shiny substantial tubes. Stick to silver for a classic, go-with-anything look, or why not introduce some turquoise which is always well received.

The first design shown uses various sizes of Greek round silver beads threaded onto 1.8mm leather. The fastening is made with 925 silver crimps and a lobster clasp. Links are to items available from Beadsite.

I have always loved turquoise with silver and used rice shaped Aegean ceramic beads here. Their elongated shape echoes the length of the tube.
