10 Rainbow Colour ‘AB’ Oval Fire Polish Glass Bead – (6mm)

Description

Rainbow AB Oval Glass Beads

Each bead in this set measures 6mm in length by 4mm at its widest point, with a generous threading hole that accepts cord up to 1mm diameter. The rainbow AB oval glass beads feature a multi-faceted surface that reflects light at constantly changing angles, creating prismatic flashes that shift from rose-pink to aqua-blue depending on viewing position. The coating sits directly on the glass, bonded during the fire polish process rather than applied afterward.

• Ten matching beads per pack with consistent oval profile
• Fire polish beads 6mm in length with smooth edges and uniform faceting
• Aurora borealis finish beads deliver colour-shifting iridescence in natural and artificial light
• 1mm threading hole accommodates standard beading wire, silk thread, and elastic cord
• Heat-treated glass construction with permanent AB coating
• Czech-style manufacturing process ensures clarity and light transmission

String these between 4mm rounds to create graduated necklace patterns where the oval shape adds directional movement. The compact 6mm size works in sterling silver ear wire designs where you want colour without visual weight—try pairing three ovals with matte silver spacers for asymmetric drop earrings. Thread onto memory wire with faceted oval beads positioned at quarter intervals to create bangles that catch light from multiple angles as the wrist moves.

The AB finish appears cooler-toned in morning light streaming through windows, warming to peachy-gold tones under evening incandescent bulbs. Photographed against white backgrounds, these read as predominantly blue-violet; against darker surfaces, the warmer rose and amber tones become more pronounced. The glass bead surface maintains clarity even when viewed through the coating, so the underlying transparency allows light to pass through rather than simply reflect.
