This is a bright, pure golden yellow in fully transparent glass — a true dandelion that commits to yellow without drifting green or orange, with the vivid, sunny clarity of its namesake. Individual beads are sparkling points of golden light; massed together, the color compounds through overlapping layers of transparent glass into a dense, glowing field of gold that reads as nearly solid despite each bead being fully transparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shift from scattered sparkle at the edges of the beadwork to saturated golden intensity where beads sit dense is dramatic and immediate — a behavior unique to transparent glass. Apparent depth varies slightly with bead wall thickness and lighting; the underlying glass chemistry is uniform across the lot, and color consistency is excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor restoration and traditional beadwork, transparent yellow served as a key accent color in the Venetian palette — highlights, warm focal points, and areas where the maker wanted maximum brightness and active light interaction. A transparent dandelion behaves completely differently in finished work from an opaque or greasy yellow of similar hue: the sparkle, light transmission, and compounding depth cannot be replicated with other finish types.

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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Due to their extremely small size, these micro beads may not be suitable for all beading projects. We recommend using a beading tray and fine beading needle for best results.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRAIRIE EDGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54056813199555,"sku":"18SV227-2","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/7397\/5491\/files\/18SV227-2.jpg?v=1785294122","url":"https:\/\/www.shipwreckbeads.com\/products\/antique-venetian-micro-seed-bead-transparent-dandelion-2-18-0-10-grams","provider":"Shipwreck Beads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
