Liquid silver
liq·uid sil·ver | ˈli-kwəd sil-vər
noun
The term given to strands of small silver beads which were made by carefully slicing tubes of Sterling silver into pieces and stringing them together
Liquid silver is a term used to describe several strands of small silver beads held together to create a fluid-looking piece. It is created by slicing tubes of Sterling Silver and then stringing them together carefully. This type of jewelry is often also known as liquid heishi or silver heshi. The result is a visually seamless strand of silver that can be used in a necklace, earring, or other free-flowing pieces of jewelry. These types of pieces fit equally well in many situations - both casual and formal - and are often associated with southwest attire. The strands are used in multiples of up to 100 to create necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.
