Mini Glass Gems 12 mm, Pearlised Deep Purple, 200 g
Pearlised Deep Purple Optic Drops for rich violet mosaics
Pearlised Deep Purple Optic Drops, also known as Mini Glass Gems, are round 12 mm recycled-glass pieces in deep violet and blue-violet shades. Their pearlescent surface reflects the light with turquoise, blue, pink, green and occasional golden highlights, allowing their appearance to shift with the lighting and viewing angle. The dark, multicoloured violet tone is particularly suitable for flowers, night skies, butterfly and dragonfly wings, peacocks, mermaids and jewel-inspired mosaic patterns.
The flat backs make the Optic Drops easy to glue, while their round, domed tops add shine and dimension to mosaic designs. They can be used on their own or combined with glass mosaic tiles, mirror mosaic and other speciality-shaped mosaic pieces.
