80CD505: Crystal Diamond Grey AB A A A 3MM 16" String is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
These 3mm machine-cut crystal diamond beads in Crystal Diamond Grey AB come on a 16-inch strand and pack a serious amount of sparkle into a small package — the faceted diamond shape catches light from every angle, and the AB finish pushes that even further.
The Aurora Borealis coating lays a multi-color iridescent overcoat across the grey crystal base, shifting through the spectrum as the light moves — less subtle shimmer, more oil-slick color play.
Specifications
- Size: 03mm
- Color: Greys and Blacks
- Finish: Rainbow/A.B./Iris
- Material: Glass Crystal
- Quantity: 16" Strand
What to make with them
At 3mm, these are well-suited for fine bead weaving where you want maximum sparkle without bulk — think peyote or right-angle weave accents in jewelry with a modern or gothic edge. They also work beautifully strung as a standalone bracelet or layered with other crystal strands for a high-contrast, faceted look.
