Wonderful, tiny iridescent gold crystal cubes for your beadwork! This subtle metallic shade is great for all kinds of projects - especially those that cry out for a special dash of bling! These gold lined cubes will catch the light and shoot out a hundred dazzling beacons from your beadwork. They are especially wonderful for bracelets because they really do shimmer as the beadwork moves. (There's a small sample in the 4th photo of an unfinished piece that shows that dazzle just a little bit - it is hard to catch it in a photo.)

These are the smallest cube beads out there - 1.5 mm is slightly larger than an 11o bead and slightly smaller than an 8o seed bead. They are a great size and shape to pair up with TOHO's bugles.

TOHO beads are smooth and uniform in shape and size with a nice, wide hole - cube beads have a diamond shaped home so that the bead doesn't roll around making your creation sloppy. You can create nice, even, smooth layers of beading with these tiny cubes. Anyway - the large hole is great for bead weavers who might need to get several strands of thread through a bead to finish a creation. The edges are nice and smooth so that thread does not fray or shred as it passes through the bead and the wide hole means that there are more beads per gram than other beads in the market.

These are packaged in a 5" x 1/2" tube with a hang tab in the stopper. It holds approx. 20 grams of beads - plenty to make a few bracelets or a nice, substantial necklace. (Most bead shops sell in little packages of 5 grams. That's never enough for me! If you need a larger or smaller amount - give me a shout and I'll put together a special baggie for you!)
