This is a darker version of sea green, turquoise blue and grape-y purple. This listing is for one card of Griffin silk in a custom Bead Snob shade! This is a more saturated version
As a Gem Geek, it's important to me that the silk I use in hand knotting gems of *any* grade add to the design. I don't want the silk to be there just to protect the stones. I want it to be a cohesive design element. We all know that Griffin is the gold standard for quality, durability, and ease of use, but the color selection is l-i-m-i-t-e-d.
So I took matters into my own hands to get Griffin silk in colors that are better suited to a variety of vibrant designs and closer matches to some of my favorite gems.

Bead Snob® Tips:
Experience - I highly encourage you to be comfortable working with Griffin silk in the size you’re using. Each diameter handles differently, and few things are as frustrating as running into issues part way through a knotted piece.*
Color Protection: Just like other silk cord, this has the potential to start looking dull or dirty if it gets abraded. Ideally, your cord fills the bead hole but still slides easily over the length of your cord before you knot it in place.
*IMPORTANT! Silk cord can vary widely in stretch from brand to brand, as well as from size to size. If you have not specifically worked with Griffin silk in the size you are purchasing, please do a practice project (or several) in a factory color in that size. I am not able to refund or replace cording that breaks in or after use.
