Czech Glass Beads: 8mm, Set of 10, Sky Blue with Gold Etched Finish

These are 8mm Czech glass English cut beads in a beautiful sky blue with an etched gold finish, and they are a real little treat. The combination of the blue and gold gives them a subtle sea green quality in certain lights, which makes them a bit more interesting than your average blue bead. Each pack contains ten beads, so a perfect amount for a pair of earrings with plenty left over, or as repeat accents along a bracelet or necklace. The English cut shape is slightly irregular and faceted, which catches the light nicely without being too flashy. They work well with warm gold findings and chain, but they are equally at home paired with silver if you prefer a cooler tone. Made by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, these are the kind of bead you find yourself reaching for again and again because they go with so much.
