what are these called?

I've been trying to find a certain type of bead, obviously I'm not using the right terminology because I've had little luck. I know they exist because I have a few store-bought bracelets with similar beads, they must be out there somewhere. ;-)



Okay, here's a description: silver outside, flat-back, with crystal inside... I have some in round and some squares. The crystal's are only on one side of the silver "holder", the underside is the flat silver.



If anyone can tell me what to call them for a search, or even better direct me to a few websites that sell them, I'd soooo appreciate it!



Thanks Cindi

I believe what you have is called a slider...look up "Swarovski Pure Allure" and you should see plenty of them:-)

I've done a lot of searching and found *similar* but not exactly what I need. Most of the results for "sliders" comes up with crystal surrounded by rather ornate silver. I want very very plain round or square silver with crystals. Any leads would be soooo appreciated!

Is there any way you could scan them and put an URL up for us to see them..........? A picture is worth a thousand......well, you know. :-)
