Clear ‘AB’ Coated Floral Grade ‘A’ Rhinestone Silver Bead – (12m

Description

AB Coated Rhinestone Connector Bead

Imagine separating three strands of freshwater pearls or gemstone chips with something that doesn’t just hold them apart but catches every shift in ambient light. This AB coated rhinestone connector bead delivers that rainbow shimmer—clear crystals treated with Aurora Borealis coating reflect violet, pink, and ice-blue depending on the angle. The silver-toned metal cylinder measures compact enough to nestle between beads without overwhelming delicate chains, yet the rhinestones are graded floral-quality so they sparkle with genuine fire rather than flat glitter.

• 12mm length with 4mm thickness, sized to balance proportion in layered necklaces
• Four 3mm holes arranged in a square configuration for symmetrical strand spacing
• Clear rhinestones with AB coating—Aurora Borealis finish refracts spectrum colours
• Floral Grade ‘A’ crystal quality: sharp facets with minimal clouding
• Silver-toned base metal construction, lightweight yet sturdy
• Single bead per purchase, allowing precise quantity control for custom projects

Use all four holes to fan out a statement necklace where seed bead strands radiate from a central focal point, or thread just two opposite holes to create a side-by-side double-strand bracelet with 6mm gemstone rounds. The 3mm openings accommodate multiple passes of fine beading wire or two strands of 0.5mm leather cord, making this equally suited to knotted silk designs and contemporary wire-wrapped pieces. Because the rhinestones sit flush against the metal rather than in pronged settings, they won’t snag on fabric—useful for rhinestone embellished brooches or hair accessories where friction is inevitable.

Thread with 0.45mm tiger tail or soft flex beading wire; the holes are generously sized but check your crimp bead diameter if doubling back through the same opening. Under daylight the AB coating leans cool-toned with platinum flashes, while indoor tungsten lighting pulls warmer peachy undertones from the spectrum. Clean with a dry microfibre cloth—avoid ultrasonic cleaners as the coating can degrade with prolonged vibration exposure.
