In a small bead this reads as a vivid, uncomplicated orange, which is exactly what makes it useful as a color you can place a lot of without it dominating.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBeing fully transparent, the color compounds where beads overlap: isolated beads at the edge of a spread are bright and light-filled, while massed areas build to a deeper amber-orange noticeably richer than any single bead. A number of beads carry dark interior specks and a few show larger amber-brown inclusions, clearly visible against the transparent glass. These are cane-drawn Murano manufacturing artifacts and evidence of uncirculated old stock never sorted or strung for the bead trade, not damage from handling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese are round-hole beads. Note that this same transparent-orange family also includes square-hole colorways in this collection — if your reference material shows the square perforation reading through the bead wall, that is a different bead and this one will not substitute for it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt 14\/0 this is a genuinely small working size, finer than the 11\/0 and 10\/0 rounds most beadworkers keep on hand. It suits fine detail lines, tight edge beading, delicate fringe, and restoration of period pieces worked in small stock, but it wants a fine needle and thread sized to match.

Its original warehouse card carries a size-12 designation; where the card and the measurement disagree we catalogue by measurement and disclose both. Antique beads are measured from original stock and sizing is approximate; dimensions may vary between lots. We recommend pre-sorting before count-critical work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRAIRIE EDGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54061297402051,"sku":"14SV236-4","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/7397\/5491\/files\/14SV236-4.jpg?v=1785990110","url":"https:\/\/www.shipwreckbeads.com\/products\/antique-venetian-14-0-seed-bead-transparent-orange-4-10-grams","provider":"Shipwreck Beads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
