Sparkly Dark Blue ‘AB’ Coated Crystal Glass Beads – (8mmx6mm)

Description

Dark Blue AB Crystal Rondelle Beads

When you’re spacing focal gemstones along a necklace wire, the components between them carry as much visual weight as the centrepiece itself. These dark blue AB crystal rondelle beads catch light with every head turn, their aurora borealis coating fracturing white light into shifting pink, gold, and violet flashes against the midnight base tone. Machine-cut facets meet at sharp, consistent angles that rival hand-finished work from decades past.

• Dimensions: 8mm diameter x 6mm width, rondelle profile with flattened ends
• Hole size: 1.6mm, accommodates 20-gauge wire and most beading cord
• Material: Czech crystal glass with precision-faceted surfaces
• Finish: Aurora borealis coating on 8mm faceted glass beads creates iridescent rainbow effect over deep blue core

• Sold individually for exact project quantity control

String them as graduated spacers in a three-strand bracelet where they’ll sit flush against larger lampwork focals, or wire-wrap them onto headpins as dangles beneath sterling silver ear hooks for movement-driven sparkle. The 6mm width keeps them compact enough to cluster in groups of three along delicate cable chain without visual clutter, while the 1.6mm hole accepts doubled Tiger Tail when you need structural integrity in heavier necklace designs. Their iridescent blue glass beads character shifts from navy in shadow to electric sapphire under direct sunlight.

The AB coating sits on the exterior facet planes rather than within the glass matrix, so avoid ultrasonic cleaners that might compromise the finish over repeated use. This aperture width works seamlessly with 0.8mm leather cord for knotted designs, and the rondelle shape nests beautifully against itself when stacked in repeating patterns. Sold as single units, you can purchase exact quantities without leftover strands.
