GemDuos- Backlit Pink Mist

GemDuos are fun, diamond-shaped two-holed bead made by Matubo of Czechia, the same maker of our 2.0's and SuperDuos. the Backlit Pink Mist is a study in bead manufacturing. A backlit coating on beads is done through the use of a thin layer of metallic which is vacuum coated on to the bead. This works best with transparent or clear beads. This finish gives the bead a radiant, "glowing from within" appearance, as if a light is shining from behind it. Project Ideas: We have several fun projects now that use GemDuos, including Stepping Stones and Beachside Bracelet. And, Kate has done a pair of GemDuo Earrings called, Lamplight, which are always a huge hit when she wears them Live on Youtube.

Made in the Czech Republic. Sold by the Tube. Approximately 8.5 grams per tube, approximately 55-60 beads per tube.
