Korálky piggy N. 16 - Vidrian

Viridian teal glass Piggy beads offer a unique architectural element to complex beadwork projects. Their characteristic saucer-like shape, featuring a concave side and a convex side, allows them to nest together or flare outwards depending on the orientation. Measuring exactly 4 x 8 mm, these two-hole components provide structural stability that single-hole beads cannot achieve in high-end jewelry design.

The technical design of these Preciosa beads focuses on the parallel placement of two 0.8 mm holes. This spacing is specifically engineered to integrate seamlessly with other multi-hole components while maintaining a low profile. The smooth glass finish and high transparency of the 6023 color code ensure that the deep teal hue captures light beautifully, adding visual depth to both flat weaves and 3D sculptures.

High-quality Czech glassmaking traditions ensure these beads maintain reliable thread passage through both channels. When working with these units, beaders can create interesting scalloped edges or textured surfaces that mimic organic scales. They pairs beautifully with Preciosa seed beads 8/0 to fill gaps in circular motifs or to serve as decorative spacers in multi-strand necklaces.

Advanced beading techniques like dimensional peyote or right-angle weave (RAW) benefit from the asymmetrical profile of the Piggy bead. Because the holes are positioned off-center relative to the bead's highest point, they naturally tilt when stitched against a flat base. This physical property makes them ideal for creating floral centers or textured armor-like patterns in artisanal wearable art.

Professionals often combine these with fire polished beads to add contrasting brilliance to the transparent glass surfaces. Given the 15 pcs packaging, they are perfect for accenting focal pieces or testing new geometric configurations. Their durability and rich color palette reflect the excellence of Czech glass production, offering versatility across countless jewelry-making applications.
