Clear Purple Pumpkin Glass Beads 8mm Jewelry Making 16 Inch Strand

Clear purple pumpkin glass beads are clear glass rounds tinted a transparent purple, 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. Use them as a full focal strand or as spacer beads in bracelets, necklaces, earrings and layered designs.

FAQ

What can I make with these? Stretch bracelets, beaded necklaces, drop earrings, wire-wrapped links and layered stacks. The purple sits well next to silver-tone and gold-tone findings, and next to amethyst, clear quartz and white stone beads.

Will the color vary? These are man-made glass beads rather than natural stone, so the purple body color is consistent from bead to bead and every bead on a 16 inch strand matches. Only the angle changes what you see, as the light moves through the glass.

How do 8mm pumpkin glass beads fit a design? At 8mm they are large enough to carry a bracelet on their own and small enough to run a full necklace without weight, and the 1.0mm hole takes elastic cord, beading wire and most 22-gauge headpins.
