Description
Metallic Iris Blue is a deep blue with a rainbow affect. The iris finish tends to add green and purple tones to these beads, though red and tan show up as well.
The Metallic Iris finish adds a metallic shine to the beads. The finish of the beads causes these beads to have color variations throughout the hank. The color variations are different shades of green, blue, purple, tan, and a deep pink. Although the colors vary, they all remain a solid color with a metallic shine. If your project requires a strict color pattern, these beads are not the beads to use. Instead you should use beads with a metallic finish to get the metallic shine that you desire.
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.
