Mini Glass Gems 12 mm, Rainbow Pearl Mix, 200 g

Rainbow Pearl Mix Optic Drops for colourful and luminous mosaics

Rainbow Pearl Mix Optic Drops, also known as Mini Glass Gems, are round 12 mm recycled-glass pieces in a varied blend of rainbow colours. The mix includes shades of yellow, green, turquoise, blue, violet, pink, red, orange, brown, grey and white. Their pearlescent surfaces reflect the light in different ways, giving the blend a lively, playful and varied appearance.

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 as a ready-made colour mix or combined with single-colour Mini Glass Gems, glass mosaic tiles, mirror mosaic and other speciality-shaped mosaic pieces.

Expert tip

Use Rainbow Pearl Mix on its own for a lively, colourful surface or combine it with white, clear glass or a dark background colour. White creates a fresh look, while deep blue or black brings out the varied colours and pearlescent shimmer.
