Make your creations sparkle with these 7x5 mm faceted pear-shaped Sapphire AB beads, whose iridescent shimmer subtly shifts the blue hue as the light changes.
The Sapphire AB shade combines an intense blue base with an iridescent effect that reveals different shades depending on the viewing angle. This finish accentuates the facets particularly well and brings a lot of light to the small 7 x 5 mm pear shape. Their size makes them suitable for both delicate jewelry and designs featuring multiple beads. Sold in sets of 25, they can be strung together in a bracelet, used in pairs for earrings, or scattered as small accents in a necklace.
How to use these Sapphire AB beads?
Pair them with crystal, light blue, or purple to accentuate their iridescent shimmer, or add gold to create a warmer contrast. Their shape is particularly well-suited for dangling jewelry: mount each bead on a wire and hang it from a hoop or chain. You can channel the spirit of these small hoop earrings with beaded charms and create a luminous blue version. For a simpler bracelet, use a compatible elastic cord and alternate them with metallic or clear beads.
Beginners can take advantage of their iridescent finish to quickly create a luminous piece of jewelry with just a few components. Experienced designers can experiment with different shades of blue, faceting styles, and levels of transparency. Our tutorials and technical guides provide tips and tricks for organizing colors, choosing threads, and achieving clean finishes.
Bohemian faceted beads, or “fire-polished beads” in English, are machine-cut and polished in a kiln directly over a flame to give them a softer appearance, with each bead slightly different from the next.
Each bead is unique; variations in size and color may occur.
