10 Czech ‘AB’ Round Grey Electro Plated Glass Bead – (6mm)

Description

6mm Grey AB Glass Beads

How does a grey bead hold more colour than most brightly dyed glass? The electro-plated aurora borealis finish on these rounds creates a light-refractive surface that scatters violet, gold, and rose tones across a cool smoke-grey foundation. Hold them at different angles and watch the facets throw unexpected flashes — peacock blue in shadow, champagne pink in direct sun. These 6mm Czech rounds weigh just enough to give drape to a bracelet without pulling uncomfortably on ear wires.

• Diameter: 6mm with 1mm threading hole
• Czech aurora borealis coating delivers multi-spectrum shine over neutral grey glass
• Faceted surface geometry amplifies light refraction across every angle
• Ten beads per packet — sufficient for a pair of triple-drop earrings or accent spacing
• Electro plating process creates a permanent metallic-iridescent finish that won’t flake

Stitch these into memory wire bracelets alongside matte black onyx for a storm-cloud palette that catches gallery lighting. The 1mm hole accepts sterling silver headpins without wobble, making them reliable for dangles where bead stability matters. Space them individually between larger 10mm rounds in graduated necklaces, or cluster three per link in charm-style bracelets where the AB coating magnifies candlelight at evening events.

Thread onto 0.4mm beading wire or nylon-coated steel for stringing projects — the smooth hole won’t abrade softer cords. The grey base reads as charcoal against white cotton, pewter against silver findings, and almost lavender when positioned near purple acrylic in mixed-media designs. Under warm incandescent light, expect amber and copper reflections; under cool daylight, the finish leans toward icy platinum with violet edges.
