These 6mm machine-cut crystal diamonds come strung on a 16-inch strand and deliver serious sparkle with an Aurora Borealis finish that shifts across the full visible spectrum. If you want a bead that does the heavy lifting on light play, this is it.
The AB coating lays a multi-color iridescent overcoat onto the crystal blue base, producing color shifts that range from classic rainbow shimmer to a deeper, oil-slick iris depending on the angle and light source.
