Aqua Gold Flat Mushroom Glass Beads 13x12mm 15 Inch Strand

Aqua gold flat mushroom glass beads are pressed glass mushrooms in transparent aqua glass with a gold wash in the molded gill lines. Each bead is a domed cap over a short stem with gill lines molded underneath, and the gold settles into those lines so the detail reads clearly against the transparent body.

FAQ

What can I make with mushroom glass beads? Charm bracelets, necklaces, earring drops and bag charms. The mushroom shape is instantly readable at arm's length, which is what makes it work as a single focal bead rather than a repeating filler.

Do aqua gold mushroom glass beads match between strands? Yes. These are man-made glass, so the aqua body color is mixed to a standard rather than mined, and strands ordered apart still match closely enough to combine in one piece.

What exactly do the measurements mean? 13mm across the cap, 12mm from the top of the cap to the base of the stem, and 7.5mm front to back. The drill hole is approximately 1mm.

Will the gold wear off? The gold sits down in the molded gill lines rather than on the raised surface, so ordinary handling and wear reach it far less than they would a flat printed finish.
