11/0 Charlotte Cut Transparent Dark Green

"Anishinaabeg are woodland peoples of the Great Lakes. Forests, trees, and plants have great meaning for us. So do green colors. When I look at this Transparent Dark Green bead, I imagine myself in the deep woods on a summer’s day, gazing up through the canopy of maple and oak trees. The sun’s light is filtered through the many layers of leaves, giving the world around me a green glow. This place is full of life; it’s where medicines and food grow. Where creatures live and roam. Where birds sing and squirrels chatter. It is home for the mind and the spirit." – Autumn "Ellie" Mitchell, Owner of Bead & Powwow Supply

Transparent glass allows light to pass through the bead, liked stained glass. This makes transparent beads appear extra shiny. The beads are see-through, so the color of the stringing material can affect the appearance – transparent beads strung on black thread will look darker than the same beads on white thread.

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.
