14K and 18K Gold Plated Irregular Nugget Spacer Beads Jewelry Making Sold Per Piece

Gold Plated Irregular Nugget Spacer Beads — solid gold plated nuggets with a soft brushed sheen and crumpled, organically dented outlines; shapes run from a slim elongated bar down to compact rounded pebbles, each drilled straight through. These are the jewelry findings that break up a run of gemstone beads, cap a knot, or sit alone on a chain as a small focal.

FAQ

What's the difference between gold filled and gold plated? Gold filled has a thick layer of gold mechanically bonded to a base metal, usually around 5% of the item weight. Gold plated has a layer of gold applied over the base metal — these carry a real 14K gold plated finish. How long a plated finish lasts depends on how heavy the plating is: a heavy plating wears far longer than a thin flash coat. Either way, keep the piece away from chemicals, perfume and water to protect the finish.

Which designs use this? Gold plated irregular nugget spacers are used as accent beads between gemstone rounds on bracelets and necklaces, as end caps beside a clasp, as a single focal on a fine chain, and in permanent jewelry and beaded stacking sets where a plated finish would wear through.

How closely do the pieces match? Each nugget is formed with an irregular dented outline, so the exact silhouette differs piece to piece even within one shape number. The sizes listed above are approximate, and the gold colour itself is consistent across pieces of the same karat.

Care Instructions: Avoid contact with chemicals, perfume, sweat, saltwater and chlorine. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and store in a sealed bag to prevent tarnishing.

Packaging: Every piece is carefully packed to arrive safely, ready to use right away.
