The first step to find the perfect color for your project
Here’s how you are going to pick the perfect colors for your projects.
It is hard to order beads online and guess color from your phone or computer screen. Watch our videos for side by side comparisons so you can pick just the right color for your creations.
Crystal Aurum 2X Gold
A metallic gold coating fully covers the entire surface of beads. Real gold is used as an ingredient. The most expensive option with great result of shine.
Crystal Amber 2-sided Gold coated
A metallic coating covers only a half of a bead which makes it shine outside but also projects golden strikes inside of the bead and gives it nice reflection … a less expensive option with stunning results.

What is the difference between Aurora Borealis and Aurora Boreale?
What is the difference between Aurora Borealis and Aurora Boreale?
They both refer to the spectacular display of lights.
The first thing that might come to mind is the Northern Lights.
Aurora Borealis is also a name for AB coating that creates a rainbow shine effect on beads, crystals, rhinestones, etc.
Aurore Boreale (in French) was also used to refer to a coating for beads, as it was first developed for Dior, a French company, in cooperation with Swarovski.
When you notice an AB abbreviation next to a name of a color like Crystal AB, Amethyst AB etc., you can expect the color will be enhanced with extra rainbow sparkle.
