Drops 5/0 - N. 49 - Crystal

Crystal glass drop beads from Preciosa offer a distinct teardrop geometry, specifically engineered to hang with the hole positioned at the top for maximum movement. This 5/0 size provides a substantial volume for jewelry making while maintaining the exceptional clarity of pure Bohemian glass craftsmanship. The 1.1 mm hole diameter is generous, facilitating smooth integration with various thick beading materials and allowing for structural stability in complex designs.
