This lovely set of matte-finish beads reminds me of the canyons of the desert southwest. The rich vermillion cliffs and sky reflecting off the cool water (in the shade, of course!). This is a basic set of 5 rondelle beads in deep earthy colors for your jewelry designing pleasure!

I used Moretti/Effetre Ivory, light brown, copper green, and transparent amber, then carefully hand-applied etching solution to lightly "roughen" up the surface a bit. The resulting effect is a porcelain-like bead, and the transparent amber gives it a kind of glow.

These larger rondelle beads measure from 14-15mm (graduated) wide x 10-11mm. All have 3/32" holes that were double-dipped and will accommodate up to a 10 gauge wire.

All of my beads are sold temporarily strung on whatever is handiest at the moment. I added copper spacer beads to show just how stunning these beads are with copper. The spacer beads ARE included.
