11/0 Seed Beads Opaque Matte Green Turquoise

The Opaque Green Turquoise has a green hue to it when it is compared to other blue turquoises but has a blue hue to it when compared to other green colors. But regardless, it is a very soft, delicate color with a timeless feel that will be sure to add that charm to the pieces you make with it.

Opaque glass does not allow any light to pass through the bead. This gives these beads a solid look that is still shiny. The matte finish mutes the shiny glass and gives these beads a softened appearance. Use matte beads next to gleaming, glittery luster or AB (aurora borealis) beads, to draw attention to the latter.

Seed beads are a very popular and time-honored option for any bead artist, whether your art is worn on the powwow trail, displayed in a gallery, or adorning a person. 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. Since they are so versatile, we recommend using seed beads for beginning beaders, classes, and workshops.
