Pewter beads are a kind of metal beads which are similar as Tibetan style beads. These
beads are made of the metal alloy which is called pewter. Both metal beads are
widely used in necklaces making, bracelets making, earring making and many
other fashion decoration making.
Pewter
beads can be polished to high, silver sheen or chemically darkened for a
blacker metal look. Well, the darker appearance of pewter beads seems to be
more popular, as for a silver look people would like to choose sterling silver.
Both pewter beads and Tibetan style beads are available in various shapes,
colors, sizes and designs. They are versatile and can be mixed and matched with
many different jewelry beads and findings to create fashion jewelry pieces.
