Multi Strand Clear Linking Rhinestone Bead – (13mm)

Description

Multi Strand Rhinestone Connector

How do you keep three or four strands spaced evenly without creating bulk at the clasp? This 13mm connector bead answers that question with a slim profile that holds rhinestones in a curved silver-tone bar, allowing each strand to maintain its own line while staying organized. The clear stones catch light without competing with your focal beads, and the dual 1.6mm holes sit far enough apart to prevent thread tangling when you’re working with silk cord or fine beading wire.

• Dimensions: 13mm length by 8mm width, proportioned for layered necklace designs
• Dual 1.6mm holes positioned for parallel stringing without thread overlap
• Clear rhinestones set flush in lightweight silver-tone metal base
• Each stone secured in individual prong settings that won’t snag delicate threads
• Curved bar design allows natural drape when connecting multiple strands

Bracelet designs with graduated pearl strands benefit from this linking element placed at quarter intervals, keeping each row aligned without adding weight. Attach it between sections of a faceted crystal glass choker to create visual breaks that emphasize your pattern repeat, or use two at the back of a statement necklace to join outer strands before they reach the clasp. The silver tone reads neutral enough to bridge cool-toned chains and warm gold accents in the same piece, while the rhinestones add just enough reflection to feel intentional rather than purely functional.

Thread strength matters more than diameter here—the 1.6mm openings accommodate standard beading wire up to 0.018 gauge or silk cord, but you’ll want material rated for the combined weight of your strands. Clean the metal surface with a soft cloth between projects to maintain the shine around each stone setting. This bead works particularly well in rhinestone-focused designs where you’re already using crystal elements, allowing it to blend into your aesthetic rather than introduce a new material language.
