Turquoise Floral Grade ‘A’ Rhinestone Silver Bead – (12mm)

Description

Turquoise Rhinestone Connector Bead

A rhinestone-studded metal bead doesn’t just join strands—it transforms them into a unified statement. This turquoise rhinestone connector bead piece anchors four separate lines of beading with equal-sized holes positioned at cardinal points around a 12mm circular frame. Each turquoise rhinestone sits flush in a prong setting that echoes vintage floral brooches, giving multi-strand work a finished jeweller’s touch rather than a strung-together appearance.

• Diameter measures 12mm across with 4mm total thickness including rhinestone height
• Four evenly-spaced 3mm holes positioned at 90-degree intervals
• Grade ‘A’ turquoise-coloured rhinestones set in silver-plated base metal
• Floral cluster setting with raised bezels securing each stone
• Flat reverse side for comfort against skin when worn
• Sold individually to allow custom strand planning

Bracelet designs gain architectural depth when four strands of seed beads converge through this single focal point—imagine mixing matte aqua size 11/0s with metallic silver-lined options, all gathered at wrist centre. The hole diameter accommodates doubled beading thread or 0.5mm tiger tail, making it compatible with both soft-strung bracelets and more structured wirework. Use it as the central anchor in gemstone chip necklaces where multiple fine strands need organising without bulk, or position two beads symmetrically on either side of a clasp to frame a four-strand choker.

Clean accumulated dust from rhinestone facets using a soft jewellery cloth—avoid liquid cleaners that may loosen prong settings over time. The 3mm holes work comfortably with 20-gauge soft wire if you’re creating bangle-style armatures, though beading cord or thread remains the smoothest choice for avoiding metal-on-metal friction. This shade of turquoise leans slightly toward teal rather than true robin’s-egg blue, photographing with cooler undertones that complement both warm brass accents and cool sterling components without colour clash.
