Available in 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm in wholesale packs of 288, 576, 720 and 1440. The Aurora Borealis coating adds a rainbow iridescent shimmer shifting between pink, blue and gold tones as the bead turns. Suited to jewellery making, beadweaving, bridal accessories and beaded embroidery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Preciosa Bicone Bead\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Preciosa Bicone tapers to a point at both ends with a faceted band around the middle, so light returns from two directions at once. The double taper lets beads sit tight against each other on a strand without gapping, which is why the bicone is the most widely used crystal bead shape in jewellery making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch your \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/collections\/jewellery-wire-and-thread\"\u003ebeading thread or wire\u003c\/a\u003e to the hole size, and use a \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/products\/beading-needles\"\u003ebeading needle\u003c\/a\u003e for woven and off-loom work. On stretch designs, choose a thicker cord rather than a larger hole, since a loose bead will wear through the elastic over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGenuine Preciosa, Supplied Direct\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreciosa has been making glass in Bohemia since 1548 and still makes every bead in the Czech Republic.
