100 Amethyst Translucent Crow Beads

These amethyst crow beads glow a soft translucent purple when the light passes through them, giving beadwork a jewel-like depth that solid colors can’t match. Each glass bead measures 9mm x 6mm x 3.5mm with a generously sized hole, so it slides easily onto leather lace, artificial sinew, hemp cord, or beading wire. Crow beads are modern replicas of the glass trade beads carried along frontier and river routes in the 1600s through the 1800s, and they remain a staple for Native American regalia, powwow dance outfits, and traditional beadwork today. The large hole and smooth barrel shape also make them a favorite for necklaces, earrings, hatbands, keychains, and beaded fringe.
