Description
Transparent glass allows light to pass through the bead, liked stained glass. Transparent Luster beads are shinier and flashier than their regular transparent counterparts. The luster affect tends to lighten the colors a little, so they can be used with regular transparents for shading and depth. Use with matte beads to draw out the shine of the luster beads.
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 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.
Colors can vary slightly from different lots. If you order multiple hanks of one color, we try to match the lots for you. If you would prefer different lots, please specify that in your order comments. We will do our best to accommodate your request.
