PRECIOSA Candy N. 86 Black opaque, Matt

Preciosa Candy Beads are a stunning and innovative addition to the Traditional Czech Beads™ collection. These 12 mm round two-hole cabochon beads feature a smooth, slightly domed top and a shallow curve at the bottom, making them exceptionally versatile for bead weaving, embroidery, and structured jewelry designs. Crafted with premium Czech glass, they ensure precision, consistency, and durability, making them a staple for both beginner and advanced beaders.

With their unique shape and dual-hole placement, Preciosa Candy Beads offer endless design possibilities. The curved base makes them easy to bezel with seed beads, interlock with other elements, or incorporate into woven patterns. Their large, flat surface enhances textures and finishes, creating a captivating focal point in jewelry. Whether used in bracelets, pendants, earrings, or bead-stitched components, these beads bring a timeless elegance and modern versatility to your creations.

What Do Preciosa Candy Beads Look Like?

Preciosa Candy Beads have a domed, cabochon-like shape with a perfectly round 12 mm base. Their smooth, polished surface enhances light reflection, adding depth and dimension to designs. Unlike standard round beads, these flat-bottomed components sit flush in beadwork, allowing for secure interlocking, bezeling, and structured arrangements.

The two parallel holes, each 0.8 mm in size, make them ideal for multi-strand designs, bead embroidery, and woven jewelry. The shallow curved base allows them to seamlessly integrate with seed beads, fire-polished beads, and other Czech glass components, making them a favorite among bead artists and jewelry designers.
