Pingo Bead

Pingo Blue Beauty

This bead has an absolutely stunning cobalt blue base with exquisite glittery copper ribbons wrapping around the core and then covered with a translucent layer, giving depth and shine. I appreciate the perfect spacing in between the copper ribbons to be able to reveal that deeply gorgeous blue core. The reason I only gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because I, like many other collectors, prefer a perfect matching pair of glass. Especially important because if I really really love a glass bead, I not only want a pair, but a MATCHING pair. I would trust my order picker to take 2 minutes to find a close match, why would anyone want 2 different sizes glass beads when you see a customer ordering a pair? This is common sense. And NOW that my closest concept store University Park (yes I would drive 2 1/2 hrs away) has announced their store closing, I can no longer select my glass in person... Which is a very crucial aspect of bead collecting and jewelry designing, to be able to select the exact bead to take home. One of my pair of beads is wider and chubbier than the other.

Amazing Blue Color

This is such a beautiful and serene blue which is very fitting for the royal figure it represents. I love the ripple effect achieved by the glass artisans along with the elegant touch of gold throughout the bead.

PINGO

Wow! The blue is beautiful and stunning. The color just makes the diamonds pop. My diamond bracelet is now complete. The PINGO bead is gorgeous and a must have.
