Crow beads in a transparent light amethyst glass — this 100-piece set gives you a generous working supply of 9mm rollers in a cool, clear purple that reads differently depending on what's behind it.
The transparent finish means the glass is fully see-through, so your stringing material, thread color, and any layered beads beneath will show right through and become part of the look.

What to make with them
Crow beads at 9mm are a natural fit for macramé and knotted cord work where the large hole accommodates thicker materials, and they work equally well strung on leather or suede for chokers and wrap bracelets where the transparent amethyst picks up the cord color underneath.
Description
Crow beads are a staple in Native American jewelry, ceremonial clothing, and many other adornments. Crow beads are larger than many other types of glass beads, they also tend to have larger holes. Modern crow beads are Czech glass beads from Preciosa® known as "rollers". They are far more uniform than older style crow beads, and they come in a huge assortment of colors and finishes, some are even faceted! Aside from our glass crow rollers, you can also find crow beads made out of wood, as well as plastic. Wood crow beads are perfect for adding that natural feel to your designs. Plastic crow beads are better known as pony beads. Large sized seed beads are similar to the old fashioned crow beads, they are less uniform than roller beads, adding to their vintage appeal.
