A lovely mixed matt-coloured collection of 4mm Czechoslovakian glass slab bugle beads we call our ‘Sea Blue Violet’ collection.
Known as glass rocailles (French for ‘little stones’) this 100-gram collection of slabs equals approximately 677 beads.
Along with their sister ‘seed’ beads, these slabs are bread and butter ingredients for jewellery construction and are wildly used in embroidery work.
No doubt this collection represents all the colours we have available in this range and would make a healthy addition to your bead collection, and a must-have to embellish and add sensational dimensions to your creativity.
Only limited by your imagination, wonderful jewellery items such as bracelets, necklaces, and earrings can be created; or the beads can be embroidered onto fabric or used to dress up a fashionable piece of clothing.
The ‘Sea Blue Violet’ collection comprises several subtle pink colours including purple, mauve, violet, lilac, cyan, aqua, and sea blue.
These tiny glass bugles which originated in Europe thousands of years ago, come with a generous 0.9mm hole capable of accommodating many threading materials including tigertail, craftline, cotton bead thread, or plain old fishing line.
In recent times seed beads are now being manufactured in India, Japan, China, and Taiwan, however, the quality, the finish, and the colours are inferior compared to their European counterparts (except for Japan, not unlike the beadmakers of Czechoslovakia, have been able to master the essential manufacturing skills required to manufacture these perfect ‘little stones’).
The accompanying photos illustrate what to expect in your order. Please also be aware, that the beads have been enlarged to illustrate detail.
