Czech Glass Cathedral Beads: Ruby Red with Copper Finish (8mm, Set of 8)

These are 8mm Czech glass cathedral beads in a deep ruby red with a warm copper finish, and they are quite striking in person. The special cut faceting catches the light beautifully, giving each bead that rich, jewel-like quality that cathedral beads are known for. You get a set of eight, which is just right for a pair of drop earrings or a repeat pattern along a bracelet.

The copper detailing works really well against the red, giving the beads a vintage, slightly bohemian feel without being too heavy. They would sit nicely alongside other warm-toned beads - think amber, garnet, or antique gold spacers - and they make a lovely feature on a simple bracelet or a beaded necklace. Handcrafted by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, so the quality and finish are exactly what you would expect from a traditional Czech glass bead.
