Description
The Pearl Eggshell is a popular color for powwow outfits and indigenous bead art. The color resembles the brown shell of farm fresh eggs. These beads are especially popular for backgrounds and borders.
Pearl beads have a pearlescent sheen to them; this softens their appearance and gives them a unique shine. These beads offer a delicate elegance to any bead art project. Pearl seed beads are also called Ceylon seed beads; we use "pearl" because it’s a better fit for our item tags.
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.
