Carrier Bead Purple Lustre Czech Glass

Description

Carrier Bead Purple Lustre are versatile 2 hole beads ideal for beading around, or as a great 2 hole bead on their own too.
These beads were designs to “carrier” other beads. By creating a strip of peyote beading with Miyuki delica beads. The bead work can be wrapped around the carrier bead to create a decorative cover to form part of a larger design or to be used singularly.

If you like larger beads, these make great elasticated bracelets with a small spacer bead in between. Check out the addition image for an example. Since the bead are flatter than many large bead they are really conformable to wear as a bracelet. However they work brilliantly just one their own too. Why not mix and match the beads to create a feature of their colours

These Czech glass Carrier Bead Purple Lustre are made by Preciosa. They measure 17mm (length) x 9mm (width) x 5mm (depth, at the thickest part). The two holes measure approx. 0.9mm and are set approx. 7mm apart. The second image shows their profile well.

The Purple lustre colour is a lovely pearly mid purple shade and works well as a feature colour as well as beading around with a similar colour palette.
