Flatback Half Pearls | 14mm Round | White AB | 25g Pack - Frame & Decor

At 14mm these are the largest round half pearls in the range, a full generous dome that fills space on a frame, tray or wall panel in one placement. The white pearl body sits under an AB coating that throws a soft rainbow shift across the curve. The back is flat and level, which keeps a large dome from rocking once glued down. Supplied in a 25 g pack.

Compatibility

Works with: craft glue, clear jewellery adhesive, MDF, wood, card, resin surfaces and metal blanks.

Not suitable for: stringing or threading, since there is no hole; and nail art, since 14mm is wider than most nail plates.

Before You Buy

• The pack is sold by weight, so a 25 g pack of 14mm domes holds far fewer pieces than a pack of 6mm.
• These are glue-on and have no adhesive backing.
• Too large for most nail art.
• The AB shimmer varies with the light and the viewing angle.

How to Use

1. Mark your placement points first, since large domes look wrong when the spacing drifts.
2. Apply glue to the surface across the full contact area.
3. Lower the dome straight down rather than sliding it into place.
4. Press gently and hold for a few seconds.
5. Leave flat until the glue has cured.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the diameter?
Each dome is 14 mm across. The pack is 25 g, sold by weight, so the piece count is not fixed and is lower than for the smaller rounds.

How is this different from the 12mm round?
Two millimetres sounds small but the footprint is noticeably wider, so 14mm covers more ground and reads as a feature piece where 12mm still repeats comfortably.

Can I use these on nails?
No. At 14mm they are wider than most nail plates. The 6mm round is the size to choose for nail work.

Do I need a special glue?
Craft glue works on porous surfaces such as card and MDF. For metal, glass or plastic use a clear jewellery adhesive.
