Description

Opaque Peridot is one of those colors that is so similar to others that your non-beading friends will wonder how you can see the difference. But it’s there and anyone who spends a lot of time with beads can probably spot it in good lighting. This color is very close to Opaque Light Green (SKUs ending with -0144 in the Bead & Powwow Supply system). Peridot has some more blue undertones. If you aim for accuracy in floral beading, we’d recommend this for ferns, mint, and other small forest plants rather than maple leaves.

Opaque glass does not allow any light to pass through the bead. This gives these beads a solid look while still shiny. Many of our customers refer to this as the “regular” or “plain” beads as they are some of the most commonly found beads in both historical and contemporary indigenous bead art.

Seed beads are a very popular and time-honored option for any bead artist, whether your art is worn on the powwow trail, displayed in a gallery, or adorning a person. They are fairly uniform in shape and size. They can be used in virtually any beaded project, including applique or flat stitch, lane stitch, peyote stitch, loomwork, bead weaving, bead stringing and jewelry making. Since they are so versatile, we recommend using seed beads for beginning beaders, classes, and workshops.

Size 10 (or 10/0) Seed Beads measure between 2.2-2.4mm. The hole of the bead is at least 0.70mm in width. Beads are sold strung on hanks; each hank contains 12 20-inch strands. Approximately 3,800 beads per hank. Made in the Czech Republic.
