Druk Bead 8mm Alexandrite Glow in the Dark (25pc Pack)

Create surprising jewelry with these Czech glass druk beads that actually glow in the dark! These translucent 8mm beads feature a watery blue color with touches of opaque pale green. Simply string them together with dark blue and white accents for a striking bracelet or necklace. Czech pressed-glass druk beads are still made in small quantities by hand in the Czech Republic. Be sure to explore the rest of our Czech druk beads for other colors, sizes and finishes. These beads are sold in a 25-piece package.

Pros: Unique
Cons: not enough glow stuff
Other beading styles or techniques: stringing,wire-wrapping crystals,wire
Creation: nothing yet, as it would look bad to have one earring glow, and not the other.
"hi, i was going to contact you about my new glow drucks, but i've been sick. the Alexandrites are color changers, like Swarovski's crystal Alexandrite, which changes from blue to lavender under different lights. thought you should know that. i haven't opened the plastic bag yet because i love them, but i'm disappointed that only a small few have a lot of glow (the green color is the glow in the dark stuff). some of them only have a wee bit that glows, and some don't have any at all. ;( i would have liked to have gotten a bag with all of them glowing, like the picture of the halloween necklace in the ad you sent me in e-mail. they ALL glowed. but, i DO love them. What can you do about my batch i bought, so that i can have the majority of them glow in the dark, instead of bits and pieces?? i love your store too..i can't buy anything cool in my town, and as for online, you guys/gals get an A+ in quality. you're prices are very good also. i just want my Glow...... :)"

disappointing
Date:May 9, 2011
"Over half of the beads have very little if any of the glow-in-the-dark element to them. Only about a third glow well. Very disappointing."
