Cylindrical beads — tube and column shapes — add length and flow to jewelry that rounder beads can't. Their elongated form draws the eye along a strand and makes elegant spacers, accents and focal beads. At The Bead Chest we carry cylindrical beads in glass, metal, bone, wood and gemstone, in many sizes and finishes.

Tube beads are a designer favorite for their versatility: line them up for a sleek, continuous look, or use them to create space and movement between focal pieces. Their shape also makes them comfortable and lightweight to wear.
