Pressed glass flowers in every shape Cath could find, from hibiscus and daisy to anemone and dahlia. They are the heart of the shop, and the quickest way to bring a little of the garden into earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Mix the sizes for a posy effect, or let a single bloom take centre stage.

Maple, mint and dogwood leaves, most finished with a soft gold wash that catches the light. They pair beautifully with the flower beads for woodland and botanical pieces, and work just as well scattered through a strand on their own.

Little glass creatures: birds, ladybirds, owls, elephants and the odd mermaid. They make charming focal beads, gifts and children's pieces, each one pressed and washed by hand in the Czech Republic so no two are quite alike.

Round, fluted melon beads in sizes from tiny 5mm spacers up to chunky 14mm rounds. They are the workhorses of a bead box, useful for filling out a design or sitting between larger focal beads, and the gold and picasso washes give them real depth.

Flat disc beads with room for a picture: fossils, sun faces, flower-of-life mandalas and laser-etched designs. Use one as the centre of a necklace, or thread several for a bolder, bohemian strand. These are the statement pieces in the box.

Fire-polished rondelles and round beads that catch the light from every angle. They are the ones you reach for when a design needs a little sparkle, as spacers or a strand of their own. Classic Czech glass, in finishes from soft picasso to bright AB.

Everything geometric and a little unexpected, from ovals and squares to hearts, daggers and hamsa hands. This is the collection to browse when you want a shape you will not see everywhere, and a piece to build a whole design around.

Cath's hand-picked surprise bags: a weighed mix of shapes, colours and finishes, with no two bags the same. A lovely way to try the range, top up a bead box, or simply see what catches your eye.
