Jewelry-making ideas

Use 4mm bicones for repeating bracelet patterns or small accents, and choose 8mm beads for necklace details and earring drops. Picture a design that alternates the gold-colored and clear sides, emphasizing the contrast created by the half coating.

Pair these beads with neutral shades, colored glass or coordinating metallic findings. Consider the one-sided coating when arranging your pattern: these beads are half coated, not fully metallic gold-colored beads.

These Preciosa beads continue the Czech glass beadmaking tradition, with machine-cut facets defining their bicone profile.
