Czech Seed Bead 13/0 Cut Opaque Mauve Luster Hank

Czech Seed Bead 13/0 Cut Opaque Mauve Luster Hank

Capture the essence of antique elegance with our Czech Seed Bead 13/0 Cut Opaque Mauve Luster Hank. These exquisite "Charlotte Cuts" combine a dusty, sophisticated rose-purple hue with a luminous finish and a light-catching facet, making them a premier choice for high-end jewelry and couture bead embroidery.

Product Overview

The Opaque Mauve Luster finish begins with a solid, muted mauve base—reminiscent of vintage lace and dried rose petals. This is topped with a "luster" coating that provides a soft, pearlescent glow. Because these are single-cut faceted beads, they don't just glow; they sparkle subtly with every movement, offering a refined brilliance that round beads simply cannot achieve.

Key Features

• Traditional Charlotte Cut: Featuring a single flat facet polished into each bead, a hallmark of Czech glass artistry that adds a rhythmic "flash" to your work.

• Intricate 13/0 Micro-Size: At approximately 1.7 mm, these beads are ideal for high-precision designs, providing a fluid, fabric-like drape for the most delicate projects.

• Muted Sophistication: The mauve-luster combination offers a "shabby chic" or Victorian aesthetic that feels both timeless and modern.

• Ready-to-Use Hank: Pre-strung on multiple strands to keep your workspace organized and allow for efficient, needle-to-strand bead pickup.

Specifications

Why Choose 13/0 Charlotte Cuts?

The single facet of the Charlotte bead allows it to sit flatter against a foundation, making it the preferred choice for Native American contoured beadwork and couture fashion embroidery. With a 13-gram weight, you receive thousands of beads per hank, ensuring you have the quantity needed for dense, high-detail fills and intricate patterns.

Creative Applications

• Bridal & Heirloom Jewelry: Create ethereal hairpins, necklaces, and earrings with a romantic, aged glow.

• Fine Detail Embroidery: Perfect for shading floral motifs or adding a "dewy" look to fabric art.

• Micro-Beading: Ideal for delicate peyote or brick stitch projects where a standard 11/0 is too bulky.

• Fringe Work: The faceted surface catches the light beautifully in moving designs, such as shoulder-skimming earrings.

Design Tip: Pair Opaque Mauve Luster with Opaque Grey and Metallic Silver for a sophisticated, cool-toned palette, or mix with Opaque White Luster for a dreamy, bridal aesthetic.
