Add volume to your creations with this crumpled-effect round bead in gold-plated CCB acrylic, ideal for creating original, trendy necklaces, bracelets or earrings.
CCB stands for Copper Coated Beads. This is a coating technique that consists of covering acrylic beads with a thin layer of copper, before plating them with other metallic finishes (gold, silver, copper, antique bronze...).
These beads combine the lightness of acrylic with a metal-like shine. Beware, however, of slight traces of oxidation.
Its crumpled effect gives it an irregular, graphic texture, contrasting with the brilliance of the gold. This bead is light despite its volume (20 mm in diameter), making it comfortable to wear every day. Its 3.3 mm through-hole makes it easy to thread onto a fine thread, cord or ribbon.
How to use this round bead
Thanks to its generous size, this bead lends itself well to creations where it can play a central role. It can be used on its own as a focal bead on a necklace, combined with smaller beads to create rhythm on a large-bead bracelet, or integrated into a necklace of varied beads to add volume and substance. It goes well with gilded metal elements, natural stone beads or glass beads for balanced compositions.
