Swarovski Hotfix Flat Back Crystals Pearl Cabochon (2080/4) Crystal Electric Blue Ignite

Swarovski hotfix crystals Round Pearl Cabochon (2080/4) in Crystal Electric Blue Ignite are flat back pearls where the reverse side of the pearl has been pre-coated with a heat-sensitive glue. Swarovski Cabochons have a smooth, rounded surface on one side and a flat back on the other. Instead of being cut with facets like a traditional crystal, cabochon pearls are polished into a domed shape. Cabochon pearls are commonly used in jewellery making, and are particularly popular in costume design.

Crystal Electric Blue is an intense and vibrant shade of blue that is highly saturated and bright.  With the Electric Lacquer effect, this enables the crystal to glow under a UV light, giving the appearance of emitting a luminous glow, similar to the bright lights of a neon sign, hence the name. Crystal Electric Blue is often used in fashion and in particular dance wear to create a bold and dynamic statement. It can be paired with other bright colours such as pink or yellow to create a playful and fun look, or with more neutral tones such as black or white to create a sophisticated and futuristic feel. The Ignite effect is used on crystals in order to enhance the  facets of the crystal from behind. For example, Ignite coloured chatons are unfoiled and used with an open back setting for the colour of the crystal to intensified and reflect as much light as possible.
