Sapphire Sky Blue AB Czech Glass Beads: Faceted Round, 8mm (Pack of 10)

These are a lovely little bead to have in your collection. Each one is a faceted round Czech glass fire-polished bead in a rich sapphire sky blue with an AB finish, meaning the surface catches the light with a subtle iridescent shimmer that shifts as you move it. At 8mm they are a really useful size, not so small that they disappear, but neat enough to work in earrings without being heavy. You could string a whole bracelet in them and the effect would be simple and striking, or mix them in with other blues and silvers for something a little more layered. They suit wirework and bead weaving just as well as stringing. As with all handmade beads, there can be very slight variation in size and shape from bead to bead, which is part of what makes Czech glass beads so characterful. You receive ten beads per pack.
