Bead Description
Chinese crystal beads are high-quality, faceted glass beads designed to mimic the brilliance of natural gemstones. They are known for their exceptional sparkle, achieved through precision-cut facets that reflect light beautifully. The Metallic AB (Aurora Borealis) finish enhances their shimmer, creating a rainbow-like effect when light hits the surface. These beads are available in various colors, including Pine Green, which offers a rich, earthy tone perfect for elegant jewelry designs.
Usage in Jewelry & Accessories
Chinese crystal beads are widely used in:
-
Necklaces & Bracelets – Their faceted design adds a luxurious touch to jewelry pieces.
