Czech Glass Anemone Flower Beads: White Alabaster with Gold Wash (12mm, Pack of 6)

These are such a pretty little bead. Each one is a 12mm pressed Czech glass anemone flower in a soft off-white alabaster, with a warm gold wash that settles into the petals and gives the whole thing a lovely antique, bohemian feel. You get six beads per pack, which is just right for a pair of earrings with a few left over, or dotted along a bracelet as floral accents.

The alabaster glass has a gentle opacity to it, so the colour is creamy and soft rather than stark white, and the gold wash adds warmth without being showy. They sit beautifully alongside other Czech pressed glass beads, wooden beads, or anything in a natural, earthy palette. They would also work well paired with a deeper tone, like teal or navy, where the white and gold really stand out.

These are handcrafted by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, and the quality and detail in a bead this small is really something.
