Mini Glass Gems 12 mm for mosaic crafts

Mini Glass Gems, also known as Optic Drops, are round, flat-backed glass pieces for mosaic crafts, decorations and other creative projects. Their domed surface adds colour, shine and dimension, while the flat underside makes them easy to glue in place. The range includes single colours, pearl and matte finishes, as well as ready-made colour mixes.

What can Mini Glass Gems be used for?

Mini Glass Gems are ideal for flower centres, borders, decorative details, plant pots, lanterns, mirrors, ornaments and garden decorations. They can be used on their own or combined with glass mosaic tiles, mirror mosaic and other speciality-shaped mosaic pieces.

The round shape and domed surface make them particularly suitable for designs where you want to create soft shapes, lively surfaces and attractive colour accents.

Can Mini Glass Gems be used outdoors?

Yes. Mini Glass Gems are UV- and frost-resistant, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. For outdoor mosaic projects, the base, mosaic adhesive and grout must also be suitable for outdoor use and changing weather conditions.
