100 Translucent Turquoise Crow Beads

A see-through blue-green, these translucent turquoise crow beads catch the light like sea glass and add a luminous cool tone to any design. Each glass bead measures 9mm x 6mm x 3.5mm with a wide hole that slides easily onto leather lace, artificial sinew, hemp cord, or beading wire. Crow beads reproduce the glass trade beads carried along frontier and river routes in the 1600s through the 1800s, and turquoise has always been a favored shade in Native American regalia, powwow dance outfits, and traditional beadwork. Because the color glows when backlit, it’s especially striking in beaded fringe, earrings, and necklaces, though it works anywhere you’d use a crow bead. You’ll receive approximately 100 translucent turquoise beads per single-color strand. Combine same-price strands to reach our quantity discount tiers.
