If you worry about silver tarnish in your designs, purchase oxidized silver beads. These silver beads come with a corrugated finish that has a dark layer over it, which brings out the details in both layers. These beads offer more detail than simple corrugated or shiny finishes. They blend well with a variety of other beads, and they are sometimes cheaper than other silver beads. Wholesalers usually carry these beads alongside other silver items, but you may not notice them at first. Don't confuse oxidized beads with Bali or India silver beads, they are different items entirely.
