Irregular Crystal Glass Beads FAQ
Q1: Is the galaxy star color painted on or coated onto genuine glass?
These are high-refractive crystal glass beads treated with a specialized multi-tone vacuum AB coating that fuses to the glass surface, giving it a permanent, brilliant color-shifting glow.
Q2: Are all beads in the pack identical in shape?
No, these are designed as irregular freeform (nugget) beads. While they adhere to strict size ranges (e.g., 8–10mm), the organic facets and shapes vary slightly, giving finished jewelry a natural, artisan feel.
Q3: Will these fit standard elastic cords and headpins?
Yes, the 0.8 mm - 1.2mm center-drilled hole easily accommodates standard 0.6mm–0.8mm elastic strings, headpins, and wire-wrapping cords.
