4 ‘AB’ Rainbow Dark Sea Green Square Electro Plated Glass Bead – (8mm)

Description

Dark Sea Green Square Glass Beads

Electroplated glass develops its colour through vapour deposition rather than traditional dyeing, which means the grey-green tone you see sits beneath a metallic film that fractures light into rainbow flashes. The AB coating on these dark sea green square glass beads isn’t just a surface shimmer — it’s a permanent molecular bond that creates those signature opal shifts across every one of the faceted planes. When you rotate the bead between your fingers, the colour moves from stormy grey to teal-edged green, with violet and pink highlights catching at the edges.

• Set of 4 beads per pack
• Precise 8mm square dimensions, uniform across all four beads
• 1.6mm threading hole accommodates standard beading wire and cord up to 1.4mm
• AB coated faceted beads with multi-plane light refraction
• Grey-green base colour with aurora borealis rainbow finish
• High-quality electroplated glass construction

The square profile makes these beads natural spacers in graduated necklace designs where you want geometric contrast against round gemstones — they sit flat against the sternum without rolling. Because you’re working with just four beads, consider using them as focal accents in European-style charm bracelets where each bead becomes a distinct colour station between sterling silver dividers. The 1.6mm hole also works cleanly with knotted silk cord in earring designs, where the square shape gives you a stable platform above a dangling freshwater pearl or faceted crystal drop.

Clean these with a soft dry cloth only — water can seep under electroplated coatings and cause delamination over time. The finish photographs darker than it appears in natural light; expect the grey base to dominate indoors, while the rainbow flash becomes more pronounced in bright daylight or under gallery spotlights.
