We had these glass gems made specially for kaleidoscopes. These are translucent, faceted, glass gems, no holes, no backing, - NOT beads! There are several shapes in the assortment, including diamonds, hearts, flowers, marquis, rectangles, equilateral crosses, half moons and more.
Sizes range from about 3 - 10mm. Sold by the gram...each gram will have different shapes and colors.**While you are welcome to order as little as one gram of any size, please keep in mind that if you order 1 gram of the mix of all sizes you will not receive any large gems. The large pieces alone can weigh close to a gram by themselves, and so trying to mix ALL sizes tends to weigh well over a gram, so we suggest ordering at least a few grams when ordering a mix of all sizes.
Price is per gram for small, medium and large gems. Small gems can also be purchased by gram or in a small vial of approximately 3-4 grams at a discounted price. $1.75/gram - just enter the number of grams in the quantity field.
Glass Gems
Due to frequent questions, please note that the glass gems are sold per gram and not per bag. These are high quality, faceted, and NOT beads. No holes, perfect for scopes. They aren't huge, so if you're making a large scope you may want to mix these with some larger pieces.
Given the above, if you are buying the large size, please note that that each piece can weigh close to a gram or more. For that reason, we advise buying more than 1 gram of the large size (you don't have to, but just a recommendation!).
