Really shiny gold beads

You could also try the silicone bumper/spacers...they might keep the bead from scratching the adjacent pearl.

If I go the silicon route, I'd have to purchase wire, crimps, and a few more tools, wouldn't I? I have been wondering about the bumpers so maybe this would be a good time to consider them. Do they came small enough where you don't see them next to a 3mm bead?

Look what I found! Is this the same cut as Newberry's diamond cut beads? https://www.halsteadbead.com/kt483 I'm not so sure because it is 3mm and 14k. Has anyone dealt with this company before?

Halstead is a wholesale house. Newberry's beads are 4mm.

I've purchased from Halstead several times and love them, but like JP said they are wholesale and require a $100 minimum order.

I buy from Halstead as well and they have always been good. Never tried their gold beads . I've also never tried the silicone beads with metal beads and pearls ..So can't speak to whether or not they would show....though I think they might. Get some silicone bumpers and try them with a few small silver beads ( or whatever ) and your pearls and see what it looks like. I usually try things out before I order something expensive.
