11/0 Charlotte Cut Opaque Olive

The Opaque Olive beads are a beautiful new addition to our selection. This color has blue undertones combined with a vibrancy that makes it unique among the opaque greens. This color is no longer in production and we were very lucky to get ahold of some. We’re not sure how long we’ll have it, so please stock up while you have the chance.

Opaque glass does not allow any light to pass through the bead. This gives these beads a solid look that is 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.

Charlotte Cuts have one or two facets per bead, which gives them a subtle sparkle. They are particularly popular for old style beadwork. 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.

Size 11/0 Charlotte Cut Beads measure approximately 2.0-2.2mm. Sold strung by the hank, consisting of 12 20-inch strands. Approximately 2,000 beads per hank. Made in the Czech Republic.
