Dear Designers In this guide, we will cover unique components for jewelry making that we love to use CCB Beads.
I will explore how to use them and especially advise some exciting ideas for incorporating these unique beads in various jewelry.
CCB beads - are lightweight, shiny, and have a well-finished metallic look.
CCB beads are made of plastic, but unlike other plastic materials, they are resistant to the electroforming process and can be plated with a layer of precious metal.
What gives them a metallic look is an advantage because they can be plated with GITA's special metal finishes.
Choose from 17 different metal plating finishes: gold, silver, nickel, black, rose gold, antique plating, etc.
The amorphic shapes and silk texture gives a perfect metallic impression with low weight.

It can be threaded on silicone wire just like other beads.
Whether beads are your jewelry's central theme or just a component, CCB beads are an excellent choice for jewelry making.
