Druk Bead 4mm 24K Gold-Plated (100pc Pack)

These 24k gold-plated druks are a simple, reliable way to pull other gold elements into your design. Each bead is made from glass and plated with genuine gold for a beautiful metallic shine. Their 4mm size allows them to be used as spacers or as the main element in a bracelet or necklace. These beads come in a pack of 100. Czech glass druks are round pressed-glass beads made in the Czech Republic. These beads are still made in small quantities by hand. Be sure to explore the rest of our Czech glass druk beads for other colors and sizes.

"Made my first weaved bracelet with these. They give the appearance of "real" gold. Will definitely use these in more pieces. Only problem is, they're a little pricey, but worth it."

"Love these beads. Wonderful color and quality, at the fraction of gold prices! I've used these as spacers in necklaces and bracelets. They look terrific and wear very well. Very pleased with item. Wish the gold came in larger bead sizes."

Decent "gold"
Date:January 1, 2011
Pros: Price, Size, Versatile, Ease of Use
Cons: Color
"I don't use a lot of gold...I personally look better in, and prefer the tone of, the cool metals. For the occasions when I need to use a warm metal, though, these will work fine. They're a titch "bright" for my taste; I would prefer a softer gold which looks a little more natural. I'll be using these in creating beaded beads, and I can "subtle them up" just fine. They'll be very pretty with matte seeds of various colors, and warm Swarovski or FP crystals."

"these druk beads are a yellow gold, unlike some of the other gold plated products out there. used sparingly or made as the focus, these beads will make your piece pop. they are simply gorgeous. i love black and gold combos, so when i get my piece finished i'll try to remember to post a picture."

"Photos never do justice to the products I receive from Artbeads.com. These gold druks are beautiful and will help make any piece of jewelry more elegant. My only problem is that I usually work in silver and will have to be careful matching these up with findings."
