10 Grey Penny Glass Beads (10mm)

Description

Grey Penny Glass Beads

You’re threading a bracelet that needs texture without weight, colour without drama. These grey penny glass beads catch ambient light along their curved edges, creating subtle dimension as the discs rotate on the strand. The neutral tone shifts between dove and charcoal depending on what sits beside it—warmer next to copper findings, cooler against sterling silver. Each bead feels smooth under your fingertips, with enough visual interest to carry a minimalist design on its own.

• 10mm diameter with 5mm thickness creates a substantial disc profile
• 1.2mm threading hole accommodates most beading wire and medium cord
• Pack contains 10 beads in consistent grey colouring
• Rounded edges prevent sharp contact points against skin
• Opaque glass holds its colour without transparency variations

Thread these as spacers between larger focal beads to create breathing room without adding length—the flat profile keeps bracelets sitting close to the wrist. In earring designs, a single disc acts as a cap above a crystal drop, or stack three vertically for a graduated column effect. The coin shape works particularly well in metal bead combinations, where the contrast between matte grey glass and polished brass or antiqued copper creates industrial-chic pairings. For macramé artists, slide these onto the working cords before knotting to create movable embellishments that won’t bulk up the piece.

Clean with lukewarm water and mild soap if needed—avoid ultrasonic cleaners that might stress the glass. The 1.2mm hole accepts 0.024-inch beading wire comfortably, or works with jewellery cord up to 1mm diameter for knotted designs. Under natural daylight, this grey reads cooler and more sophisticated than standard charcoal, photographing as a true neutral that doesn’t skew blue or brown—useful when listing finished pieces online where colour accuracy matters.
