Fire-Polished Bead 8mm Capri Blue (25pc Pack)

Add these Capri blue fire-polished beads to your designs to infuse them with color. These beads have a saturated blue tone that would go well with ocean-themed designs. Try mixing them with silver or gold components for a nice mixture of sparkle and shine. These beads come in a pack of 25. 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. Be sure to explore our other Czech fire-polished glass beads for more colors and shapes.

"I find the intense and rich color of the 8mm Capri Blue beads very enticing. I have put colors with Capri Blue that one would not normally think of using together which, in the case of this necklace, is the duller aventurine ovals. To intensify the Capri Blue even more, I chose the deep turquoise 6 mm fire-polished beads. Artbeads bi-color beads were added as beading got closer to the back of the neck.
. There are four beads that have the look of Oil-on-Water, as do the large beads that dangle, that pick up all the other bead colors. All of the colors are brought together with 24 K plated beads and bead caps. The sparkle of the Capri beads traps the quieter aventurine between them, which makes the eye travel up and down the necklace to see it as a whole. The total look is almost that of Egyptian; but, if not that, then it does qualify as elegant.
