1 White Teardrop Glass Beads – (26mmx16mm)

Description

White Teardrop Glass Beads

A single drop of frosted luminosity brings understated elegance to minimal earring designs and delicate pendant arrangements. The opaque surface of this white teardrop glass bead catches natural light without the harsh glare of clear glass, creating a soft glow that complements both warm gold and cool silver metals. Its substantial 26mm length makes it a natural focal point when suspended from ear wires or incorporated into layered necklace designs where the milky white glass provides visual relief between darker gemstone strands.

• Measures 26mm in length and 16mm at widest point with 10mm thickness
• Opaque milky white glass with a smooth, slightly frosted appearance
• Drilled vertically through the narrow top with a 1.5mm hole
• Single bead supplied, allowing you to purchase exactly what your design requires
• Substantial weight gives earrings a quality feel without being uncomfortably heavy

The 1.5mm hole accommodates 20-gauge wire comfortably for wrapped loop connections, making this bead particularly suited to wire-wrapped earring designs where the teardrop hangs beneath a decorative cap or cluster of smaller accent beads. Pair it with antiqued copper findings for a soft vintage aesthetic, or thread it onto sterling silver headpins for bridal jewellery where the neutral tone works alongside pearl and crystal elements. The proportions also suit macramé projects where the bead becomes a terminal weight on knotted wall hangings or plant hanger accents.

Clean the smooth glass surface with a soft cloth dampened with water—avoid harsh chemicals that might leave residue in the slightly textured finish. The opaque nature of this glass means it photographs consistently across different lighting conditions, unlike translucent beads that can appear washed out or too dark depending on backlight. At 26mm, this sits at a length that extends just past the earlobe on most ear wire styles, creating elegant movement without overwhelming delicate facial features.
