This 25g assortment from India Beads packs mostly rondelles into a chevron-pattern mix of assorted sizes, giving you a ready-to-use range of shapes without the sorting work. Rondelles are natural spacers and focal accents, so a bag this varied moves fast once you start stringing.
Each bead is transparent glass with a colored lining running through the hole, so the color glows from the inside out and shifts subtly depending on how light hits the bead.
Layer the rondelles along strung necklaces and bracelets as rhythm beads between larger focal pieces, or use the assorted sizing to your advantage in free-form bead weaving where varied proportions add organic movement. The color-lined transparency also plays well in earring drops where light can pass through and show off that inner color.
