Mini Glass Gems 12 mm, Matte Mandarin, 50 g
Matte Mandarin Optic Drops for warm orange mosaics
Matte Mandarin Optic Drops, also known as Mini Glass Gems, are round 12 mm recycled-glass pieces in a vivid mandarin-orange shade. Their on-trend matte finish gives the colour an even, velvety appearance without strong reflections. The warm orange tone, with subtle coral and red-orange undertones, is particularly suitable for flowers, sunsets, fruit, animal motifs, autumn designs and cheerful contemporary mosaics.
The flat bases make the Optic Drops easy to glue. Their straight sides create a clearly defined shape, while the round, domed tops add attractive dimension. Matte Optic Drops can be used on their own or combined with glossy glass mosaic tiles, pearlised Mini Glass Gems, mirror mosaic and other speciality-shaped mosaic pieces.

What are Matte Mandarin Optic Drops suitable for?
Matte Mandarin is particularly suitable for marigolds, gerberas, sunflowers, oranges, mandarins, fish, butterfly wings, ladybirds, foxes, sunsets and autumn leaves. The gems can be used to decorate plant pots, lanterns, mirrors, trays, frames, ornaments, wall decorations and garden features.
The 50 g pack is suitable for small mosaic projects, individual motifs and designs where mandarin orange is used for details, borders or warm colour accents.
Expert tip
Combine Matte Mandarin Optic Drops with yellow, coral or red for a warm and glowing palette. Turquoise, cobalt blue, petrol or violet creates a bold contrast with orange. Glossy and pearlised mosaic pieces stand out particularly well beside the matte finish.
