The Charlotte Cut: Elegance in Every single Facet. Named after the historic glass-cutting traditions of Bohemia, true Charlotte beads feature a single, precisely ground flat facet on an otherwise round bead.

At a dainty Size 11/0, they provide the perfect balance of smooth, fluid drape and subtle, sophisticated sparkle.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Subtle, Twinkling Brilliance: Because they feature only one facet per bead, they don't overpower your work. Instead, they catch the light unpredictably as the wearer moves, creating a true "twinkle" effect.
  • Exceptional Contour Stitching: Perfect for artists who demand perfection in curved lines. The round profiles hug the curves beautifully, while the single facets break up the surface monotony.
  • The Professional's Choice: Charlottes are historically prized for high-end bridal wear, traditional Indigenous beadwork, and gallery-level design

Tip - "Because Size 11/0 Charlottes are slightly asymmetrical due to their single hand-cut facet, they pack together with incredible density in bead embroidery. Turn them randomly as you string to maximize their signature, starry-night sparkle."
