Swarovski Pearls Round Half Drilled (5818) Crystal Iridescent Light Blue

Swarovski pearls Round Half Drilled (5818) in Crystal Iridescent Light Blue have a crystal ball core with a silky smooth coating, giving them the appearance of cultivated pearls. Swarovski Round Half Drilled pearls have a thread hole that is only drilled halfway to a centre point and not all the way through. This half drilled hole is then used with a little glue to attach to a finding such as an ear stud or jewellery wire, concealing the fitting which makes this type of bead or pearl perfect for making stud earrings and tiaras.

Crystal Iridescent Light Blue is a delicate and shimmering shade of blue that has a luminous quality. Often used in jewellery making, costume and fashion design to create pieces that are both delicate and eye-catching. Crystal Iridescent Light Blue can be used on its own to create elegant pieces, or combined with other pearl or crystal colours for added interest and texture. The iridescent coating enables the surface of the crystal to appear to gradually change colour as the angle of view or the angle of illumination changes, a similar appearance to the surface of a soap bubble.
