Preciosa Crystal Round Halfcoat Hematite 4mm

These 4mm machine-cut crystal rounds from Preciosa Ornela come 72 pieces to a pack and carry a halfcoat hematite finish that puts a dark, metallic edge on precision Czech glass crystal.

The halfcoat coating lays a deep, iron-grey metallic sheen over part of the bead's surface, so the underlying crystal peeks through and shifts subtly with the light.

What to make with them

Their compact 4mm size makes them naturals for dense peyote or brick stitch work where that moody metallic tone can build real visual weight, and they thread up beautifully as spacers or accent rounds in wire-wrapped or strung designs with a Gothic, Victorian, or industrial sensibility — just keep in mind the surface coating is medium-low durability, so pair them with techniques that minimize heavy friction.

The finish on these beads is delicate. Avoid prolonged exposure to friction, moisture, skin acids, and harsh chemicals to preserve the surface coating.
