Ufo N. 13 (7x11mm) - Cystal Blue Glaze

Teal hues often lack the depth needed for truly high-end designs, but these 7x11mm beads provide an immediate solution with their rich, metallic-infused finish. Working with Czech glass beads allows you to move beyond flat colors into a world of complex, shimmering textures that catch the light from every angle. This unique saucer shape, known as the Ufo, offers a sophisticated alternative to standard rounds, giving your handmade pieces an architectural and modern aesthetic.

Preciosa continues to uphold the legendary Czech beading heritage by producing specialized shapes that inspire creativity in both beginners and professional artisans. These beads feature a stunning Crystal Blue Glaze that shifts between deep petrol and oceanic teal, making them a standout choice for those who value a diverse color palette and artistic depth. The smooth glass surface is enhanced by a high-shine coating that ensures your projects look luxurious and well-finished.

Integrating these saucer beads into your work pairs beautifully with Preciosa seed beads 10/0 or as spacers between larger fire polished beads for a professional, layered look. The 7x11mm size is substantial enough to act as a focal point in delicate earrings yet thin enough to stack closely in textured bead weaving projects. Because the hole is precisely drilled, they maintain a clean alignment even in complex, multi-strand designs.

Beautifully complements light aqua or aquamarine tones for a monochromatic ocean-inspired palette, or you can pair them with gold for a striking, regal contrast. The iridescent surface treatment ensures that even a simple strand of these beads feels sophisticated and intentionally designed. These jewelry making supplies are particularly effective when you want to add a sense of movement to necklaces or fringe work.

Versatility is at the heart of the saucer shape, which transitions effortlessly from boho-chic earrings to structural bracelets using techniques like peyote stitch or simple stringing. Because they are made from high-quality Preciosa glass, these designer glass beads bring consistent character and vibrant color to any jewelry collection. Whether you are creating a one-off statement piece or a full line of accessories, these unique components provide the professional finish that modern beaders demand.
