Czech Seed Bead 13/0 Cut Opaque Medium Red Strung Hank

Inject a bold, rhythmic sparkle into your most detailed projects with our Czech Seed Bead 13/0 Cut Opaque Medium Red Strung Hank. Known by artisans as "Charlotte Cuts," these beads combine a vibrant, timeless red with a masterfully faceted finish, making them an essential choice for high-end jewelry and traditional embroidery.

Product Overview

The Opaque Medium Red finish offers a solid, saturated color that remains consistent throughout the bead. Because these are authentic Czech "cut" beads, each one features a single flat facet. This traditional craftsmanship allows the deep red glass to catch and reflect light with a subtle "glint" as the piece moves, providing a rich, textured appearance that standard round beads simply cannot match.

Key Features

• Genuine Charlotte Cut: Every bead is treated with a single flat facet, a signature Czech technique that adds a sophisticated "flash" of light to your designs.

• Petite 13/0 Sizing: Measuring approximately 1.7 mm, these micro-beads provide the precision needed for intricate loom work, gourd stitching, and fine needlework

• Vibrant Opaque Finish: The Medium Red color is solid and bold, ensuring your patterns remain vivid and visible even from a distance.

• Convenient Strung Hank: These beads come pre-strung on multiple strands, allowing for a seamless transfer to your beading thread and reducing the risk of spills.

The Czech Advantage

Czech 13/0 cuts are globally recognized as the premier choice for couture embroidery and Indigenous beadwork. The flat facet allows the beads to lay flatter against the surface, resulting in a cleaner, more professional finish. With approximately 13 grams per hank, you have a generous supply of thousands of beads, perfect for large-scale projects requiring consistent color and high-definition detail.

Creative Applications

• Traditional Beadwork: Ideal for medallions, regalia, and intricate floral patterns where precision is paramount.

• Statement Jewelry: Create high-impact micro-fringe earrings or multi-strand necklaces that shimmer with every turn of the head.

• Texture Blending: Mix with 13/0 round seed beads in similar tones to create a "hidden" sparkle effect in your shading.

• Holiday & Special Occasions: Use this classic red for sophisticated holiday ornaments or romantic anniversary gifts.

Design Tip: Pair Opaque Medium Red with Opaque Black and Opaque White for a classic, high-contrast tri-color palette, or accent it with metallic Gold Luster for a truly regal and luxurious aesthetic
