Red Turkana

I bought both red and blue turkana to use in designs with older Millifiori Trade beads. Both colors will blend with the older beads and give a new updated look to the older beads in necklaces and bracelets.

Great Bundle!

I will use a lot of blue for Spring/Summer '22. The shades of powder, royal and navy blue in this bundle are perfect. They will make great little bracelets, or be used between other complementary beads. Smooth with what I would call a satin finish, not super plastic shiny, which I like.
