Deep cobalt blue Russian faceted beads with the rich, saturated color that made this style a favorite for generations. Each bead is cut with irregular hand-faceted planes that catch and scatter light differently from every angle — no two are exactly alike, giving finished pieces the warm, slightly rustic character of traditional trade beads.
The barrel shape measures approximately 6x7mm, substantial enough to carry a design on its own yet small enough to string in multiples. Cobalt blue pairs beautifully with silver, copper, turquoise, coral, and warm earth tones, and looks equally at home in tribal-inspired work, bohemian layers, or classic strung necklaces.
Sold by the strand, approximately 10 inches long with roughly 35-36 beads per strand.
