Czech Seed Bead 13/0 Cut Metallic Gold Terra Hank

Bring the opulence of real gold to your most intricate designs with our Czech Seed Bead 13/0 Cut Metallic Gold Terra Hank. These exquisite "Charlotte Cuts" are a favorite among high-end jewelry designers and traditional bead artists who demand a brilliant, durable metallic finish in a delicate micro-size.

Product Overview

The Metallic Gold Terra finish features the innovative "Terra" coating—a specialized treatment known for its superior durability and resistance to fading or rubbing off compared to standard galvanized beads. Combined with the single-cut facet, these beads don't just shine; they provide a sharp, rhythmic sparkle that adds a professional, jewelry-grade "flash" to every stitch.

Key Features

• Genuine Charlotte Cut: Each bead features a single flat facet, a traditional Czech technique designed to catch the light and add a sophisticated glimmer to your patterns.

• Intricate 13/0 Sizing: At approximately 1.7 mm, these micro-beads allow for incredible precision, making them ideal for high-definition loom work and delicate embroidery.

• Durable Terra Coating: The "Terra" finish is engineered for longevity, ensuring your gold accents remain vibrant even with frequent handling and wear.

• Convenient Strung Hank: Pre-strung on strands for easy management, allowing you to transfer these tiny treasures to your needle with speed and ease.

The Precision of Czech Gold

Czech 13/0 cuts are the gold standard for Traditional Indigenous Beadwork, Couture Fashion, and Fine Jewelry. Because of the single flat facet, they lay closer to the foundation material, creating a smooth, "liquid metal" surface. At 13 grams per hank, you receive a generous supply of beads to complete complex medallions, ornate borders, or shimmering fringe.

Creative Applications

• High-End Jewelry: Use as a primary material for luxurious peyote stitch cuffs or as spacers to elevate simpler designs.

• Traditional Regalia: A preferred choice for outlining medallions and creating brilliant geometric patterns in indigenous beadwork.

• Bridal & Evening Wear: Add a touch of gold to veils, clutches, or embroidered details on formal gowns.

• Fine Detail Embroidery: The faceted surface acts like a tiny mirror, making it perfect for adding "light" to portraiture or floral centers.

Design Tip: Pair Metallic Gold Terra with Opaque Black Matte for a bold, modern look, or mix with Opaque White Luster for a classic, regal aesthetic.
