Amethyst Floral Grade ‘A’ Rhinestone Silver Bead – (12mm)

Description

Amethyst Rhinestone Connector Bead

Does your beading wire keep twisting when you try to separate strands in graduated necklaces? This amethyst rhinestone connector bead solves that problem with four evenly spaced 3mm holes that guide each strand into position. The floral arrangement of Grade A purple rhinestones catches overhead light differently than side light—indoors they read as deep violet, while natural daylight reveals their cooler lavender undertones. At 12mm across and just 4mm thick, the silver-tone setting sits flat against skin without the bulk that causes multi-strand pieces to flip or rotate.

• 12mm diameter with symmetrical four-hole layout for balanced strand spacing
• Grade A amethyst rhinestones in prong-set floral pattern
• Silver-tone metal base with 4mm profile thickness
• Each of the four holes measures 3mm—accommodates doubled beading wire or leather cord
• Flat back design prevents rotation in finished jewellery

Use this 12mm four hole connector to transition from a single-strand choker into a three-strand waterfall bib, with the fourth hole reserved for your clasp wire or an asymmetric design element. The 3mm openings work beautifully with size 6/0 seed beads strung on doubled Fireline, creating texture contrast against the smooth rhinestone surface. Macramé artists thread this through as a focal junction where four separate cord paths diverge—the silver setting grips waxed cord without slipping once knotted on either side.

Clean the rhinestone surfaces with a dry microfibre cloth rather than water, as moisture can compromise the adhesive beneath prong settings over time. The 3mm holes pair well with 0.45mm beading wire in doubled strands, or single-pass 1.5mm leather cord for boho-style statement pieces. Under fluorescent workshop lighting these read more blue-violet, but warm LED brings out their true purple depth—worth checking your finished piece under both conditions before photographing for sales.
