11/0 Charlottes Transparent AB Dark Aqua

This Transparent Dark Aqua brings to mind a tropical beach, complete with fine grains of sand, and sugary beverages with little umbrellas. This is a good medium blue color that will add brightness to any piece of bead art.

Transparent glass allows light to pass through the bead, liked stained glass. This makes transparent beads appear extra shiny. Aurora Borealis (AB, for short) is the name for the rainbow affect. Transparent AB tend to have a subtle rainbow appearance that deepens the bead color. This is more pronounced on dark colors and warm shades. Use next to a 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.

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.
