Preciosa Crystal Diamond Labrador Half Coated 4mm

These 4mm Preciosa Ornela machine-cut crystal diamond-shape beads come in a count of 144 pieces, giving you a solid working quantity of a faceted silhouette that catches light from every angle. The half-coated Dia Labrador finish puts this crystal firmly in silver-toned territory with an edge that reads modern and a little industrial.

The half-coating lays a surface treatment over part of the crystal, shifting the color and sheen so you get a two-toned interplay between the raw crystal beneath and the labrador metallic layer on top.

What to make with them

The sharp diamond silhouette works well strung in repeating sequences for geometric necklaces and bracelets where the facets create a continuous line of reflected light, and the 4mm size is a natural fit for earring drops or as a spacer element between larger focal beads. Keep in mind the coated surface has medium-low durability, so settings or stitch placements that minimize direct friction will help the finish last.

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