Clear Purple Gold Pumpkin Glass Beads 8mm 16 Inch Strand

Clear purple gold pumpkin glass beads are clear glass rounds tinted violet with a warm gold stripe down each rib, each one carved with fine melon ribs from hole to hole. The color runs deeper down the grooves and clears at the high points, so a strand reads as texture and color together rather than a plain row of rounds.

• Size: 8mm pumpkin glass beads, drill hole approximately 1.0mm, polished finish
• Material: Glass (man-made), pumpkin melon round shape
• Quantity: Sold per 16 inch strand - approximately 50 beads per strand

FAQ

What can I make with 8mm pumpkin glass beads? Stretch bracelets, beaded necklaces, drop earrings and wire-wrapped links. At 8mm a single strand is enough for one bracelet with beads to spare, and the violet reads well against gold-tone findings and clear quartz.

Is this real glass or acrylic? Real glass. The beads have the weight and the cool touch of glass, and the color is in the body of the bead rather than a surface coating, so it will not scratch off the ribs with wear.

What cord or wire fits the 1mm hole? A 1.0mm hole takes 0.8mm elastic cord, 49-strand beading wire, most 22-gauge headpins and standard nylon beading thread. Doubled 1mm elastic will not pass, so single-strand it.

How many pumpkin glass beads make a bracelet? About 22 to 24 beads for a standard 7 inch stretch bracelet, so one 16 inch strand of roughly 50 beads makes two bracelets.
