Charlotte Beads Information:
Charlotte beads are seed beads that have one facet cut onto the surface
for added shimmer and sparkle. The beads I use are original Czech
Preciosa beads, in the tiny size 13/0, with the 24K gold electroplate
baked on for long-lasting beauty. And - believe me! - they are not easy
to get, due to very limited production and huge demand. (A cheaper
alternative are galvanized - painted - charlottes, but the finish
changes color quickly and peels off easily.) The usual precautions
regarding jewelry
care still apply. |
