Product Overview

Prized for their "Natural" glow, these beads provide a clean, solid canvas while the AB coating mimics a living crystalline structure. Whether you are working on detailed weaving or bold embroidery, these beads offer a high-impact finish that changes subtly with every angle of light. Available in various formats—including pre-strung hanks for rapid threading, convenient vials for organization, and bulk bags for large-scale designs—they are designed to meet the needs of hobbyists and professional designers alike.

Key Features

• Mesmerizing AB Coating: The Aurora Borealis finish adds a multi-colored, iridescent shimmer to the surface, creating a "rainbow" effect over the glass.
• Solid Opaque Base: A dense core ensures total color saturation and prevents thread-show, making your patterns look crisp and professional.
• World-Class Uniformity: Celebrated for their consistent size and rounded edges, these beads ensure a smooth, snag-free experience for your thread.
• Durable & Fade-Resistant: Rich, long-lasting colors that remain bright even after prolonged use and wear.

Creative Applications

• Aquatic & Celestial Themes: Perfect for depicting shimmering water, ice, or the soft glow of a clear sky.
• Bridal & Formal Jewelry: Add a sophisticated shimmer to hair vines, earrings, or garter accents.
• Indigenous & Traditional Beadwork: Ideal for vibrant medallions or regalia that require a touch of modern shimmer alongside traditional textures.

Pro Tip: To preserve the iridescent AB coating, avoid contact with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Whether you are using a strung hank for efficiency or a bulk bag for high-volume fringe, these beads provide the perfect mix of quality, quantity, and color.
