11/0 Charlottes Opaque AB Turquoise Blue

The Opaque Blue Turquoise beads are a softer and gentler shade of blue. They will be perfect for shading blue flower petals or adding depth to water designs. These pair well with -0154 Opaque Green Turquoise, -0102 Opaque Cheyenne Pink, and -0174 Opaque Amethyst for a contemporary color scheme.

Opaque glass does not allow any light to pass through the bead. This gives these beads a solid look that is still shiny. Aurora Borealis (AB, for short) is the name for the rainbow affect. Opaque AB tend to have a subtle rainbow appearance that deepens the bead color. This is more pronounced on dark colors and warm shades. Use these beads next to transparent color to add depth or use an opaque matte bead to draw out the rainbow affect.

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.
