Add subtle blue to your designs with these 3mm fire-polished alexandrite beads. These beads are round Czech glass beads with tiny facets that catch the light. Under fluorescent light and sunlight, they appear light blue. Under incandescent lights they turn to a lovely violet color. You can use them as spacers between metal components or string them together for a delicate bracelet or necklace. The beads come in a 120-piece pack. Fire-polished beads from the Czech Republic are made in small quantities by hand. Their high quality appearance and inexpensive cost have made them a staple for beaders.
