13/0 Charlottes Metallic Light Gold

Metallic Light Gold is a vibrant gold color that is close in color to the 24k gold plated beads. However, it is much more affordable than its true gold counterpart. We recommend using projects where a gold color will enhance the design, but you want to keep costs down. For example, perfect for making gifts for your in-laws or earrings for a wild concert at a basic casino.

Metallic beads have a metallic coating over the glass. These are beautiful option for adding some glimmer and glam to your bead project. Basic metallic finish can rub off or tarnish. To prevent tarnish, store beads in a dry, dark place. If these beads are on your powwow outfit, allow it to dry.

Charlotte Cuts have one or two facets per bead, which gives them a subtle sparkle. They are particularly popular for old style beadwork. Size 13/0 is small enough to get a lot of details into earrings and florals. They are also fairly uniform so they work well for peyote stitch and loom-work. We recommend a Size 13 beading needle and OO Nymo thread for these beads.

Size 13/0 Charlotte Cut Beads measure approximately 1.6-1.8mm. Sold strung on short hanks, consisting of 12 12-inch strands. Approximately 3,000 beads per hank. Made in the Czech Republic.
