100 Translucent Dark Blue Crow Beads

A deep, translucent sapphire blue, these crow beads glow with a jewel-like richness when light shines through the glass. Each bead measures 9mm x 6mm x 3.5mm with a large hole that slides onto leather lace, artificial sinew, hemp cord, or beading wire. Crow beads are replicas of the glass trade beads carried along frontier and river routes in the 1600s through the 1800s, and deep translucent blues recall the most treasured of the originals. The color adds dramatic depth to Native American regalia, powwow outfits, and traditional beadwork, and it’s especially striking in beaded fringe, earrings, and necklaces where the light can pass through. You’ll receive approximately 100 translucent dark blue beads per single-color strand. Combine same-price strands to reach our quantity discount tiers.
