Preciosa Chaton Viva Ss16 Monte Carlo

These Preciosa Chaton Viva flat backs in SS16 come 144 pieces to a pack, sized just right for detailed pavé work or clustered accent settings. Bohemian crystal construction means sharp faceting under that warm surface coat.

Monte Carlo is a coated finish that layers a burnished, brown-gold warmth over the crystal — think dried oak leaves and aged brass, with a depth that shifts slightly depending on the light.

What to make with them

Press them into epoxy clay or resin bezels for earthy, textural jewelry with an autumnal palette. They're also well-suited to embroidery-style flat-back setting on fabric or leather, where their warm tone anchors richer mixed-media compositions. Handle with care — the surface coating is medium-low in durability and can wear with friction over time.

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