16x12mm Turquoise w/ Picasso Pear Shape Drop

This Czech glass bead is pear-shaped and can double as a pendant or drop. The base color is a beautiful turquoise speckled with picasso-style browns and some green. Use this fun bead when you want to add a touch of style and elegance. Versatile and breathtaking, this Czech pear drop can be used in many ways. Dangle from chandelier earrings for a night on the town, or add to charm bracelets for a splash of color. String them in between Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls and lampwork glass beads for a textural haven. Each bead will display different pattern movement, so if you would like to experience the full range of beauty this bead has to offer, be sure and purchase several. While remaining consistent in size and shape you will find that no two are exactly alike. This small Czech drop will make a big impact in jewelry designs.

Pros: Price, Versatile, Unique, Quality, Color
Creation: necklace
"Beautiful pendant at a great price! I usually use Swarovski crystals but am working on a necklace with a more "earthy" look. The pendant I received is a little greener than in the picture, but it's still a gorgeous color and a "pseudo-neutral" that will go with other vivid colors. Also, it fits perfectly in the TierraCast 8mm Vine Briolette Bail."

"This drop was so nice to work with. However, one must remember that this is glass and not a gemstone, so you will not want to use too large a gauge...too much stress when you are manipulating the wire will cause it to chip and crack."

"I bought this to use in a bracelet and was VERY happy with the design of the beads. Wonderful color and random patterning on each bead. Not a single one was too sparsely patterned to use or look natural with the others."

Lovely!
Date:August 10, 2010
Pros: Size, Unique, Color, Versatile
Cons: Fragile
"It's a rare thing when when something artificial outshines the real thing, but that is the case here. These are much lovlier than real turquoise. They're a little expensive, but I appreciate the flexibility of being able to order them in increments of one. Be a little careful with these, I accidentally chipped one with my wire and pliers."

"I received these beads and can't wait to make a necklace. The color of the beads are a beautiful turquoise. They can easily be mixed with brown or other turquoise beads even gold or silver."
