Light Gold Designer Choice Gold Foil Glass Bead – T1

Description

Light Gold Foil Glass Bead

The light gold foil glass bead owes its luminous quality to a layer of metallic foil permanently encased within clear glass during the lampworking process. Unlike surface treatments that wear or flake, this internal foil remains protected, creating shifting light patterns as the bead rotates. Delicate silver swirls dance across the warm gold base, adding visual movement without overwhelming the soft metallic glow. The transparent outer layer magnifies the foil’s texture, producing depth you won’t find in painted or coated finishes.

• Dimensions: 13mm length × 8mm width
• Core diameter: 5mm threading hole
• Encased gold and silver foil protected within glass
• European style large hole bead compatible with standard charm carriers
• Single bead supplied individually
• Nickel, lead and cadmium free to EC standards

The generous 5mm hole accommodates thicker materials including 4mm leather cord, rubber tubing, or multiple strands of chain and wire findings threaded together. Use this as a focal point on a simple leather wrap bracelet where its compact 13mm length won’t overpower delicate wrists. The silver design foil core catches light beautifully when positioned between darker European style beads, creating intentional contrast in graduated colour schemes. Its barrel shape sits securely without rolling, making it reliable as a charm bracelet spacer bead between heavier dangles.

Clean with a soft cloth dampened in warm water—avoid ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals that might cloud the glass over time. The substantial core means you’ll thread this easily onto stiffer materials like memory wire or rigid bracelet bases without the frustration of hunting for the opening. Australia Beads stocks this bead individually so you can purchase exactly the quantity your current design requires without committing to bulk packs.
