Czech Glass Dark Aqua/Orange Mix w/ Picasso Grooved Rectangle

The complementary colors of blue and orange provide a fascinating effect in these Czech glass beads. This surface coloration comes from the Picasso finish, and will make them perfect for any design that needs a touch of drama. They are enhanced with a pattern of grooves in the surface of the beads which allow color to settle, giving them an aged look. Use these beads in necklaces, earrings, bracelets or embellishment for an antiqued look.

Picasso beads
Date:February 2, 2011
Cons: Color
"The beads are not as colorful as pictured. I purchased several different ones and there is very little difference among them. In fact, the Dark Aqua/Organge is identical to the Kelp Green. I would never purchase again."

NIce on line ~ disappointed when received
Date:January 26, 2011
Pros: Price
Cons: Quality, Size, Color, Ease of Use
Creation: Nothing
"When I saw this bead online it was very nice. I wanted to make this bead a focal bead. However once I received it, the coloration was off. There was no shine to this bead and colors were not distinct. I was not to impressed with this bead at all. I received a gift card for Christmas and I purchased this bead along with others (which I tremendously enjoyed) but this one is one that I will just keep at the bottom of my bead box"

Modern cool
Date:May 3, 2010
Pros: Price, Quality, Size, Unique, Versatile, Ease of Use
Cons: Color
Other beading styles or techniques: Jewelry making
Creation: French hook earrings
"I originally bought one of these to use as a focal pendant for a necklace, but it was too small for the idea I had. I ordered another one and made earrings out of them. They are light enough for earrings, but large enough to look good. The only fault I have is that they do vary greatly in color piece-to-piece. One has a very vivid orange streak, and the other is hardly visible. I'm sure this is a natural color variance, but if it HAS to match, buy several to choose the best match."
