Czech Glass Dahlia Flower Beads: Black with Purple Wash, 15mm (Pack of 5)

These 15mm dahlia flower beads are a really lovely thing. The base is a deep, moody black with a purple wash that gives each bead a subtle, shifting quality - catching the light in a way that lifts the whole colour. They're pressed Czech glass, made by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, and the dahlia petal detail is crisp and well defined.

You get five beads per pack, which makes them ideal as a set of matching earring drops or as evenly spaced feature beads along a bracelet. They suit a bohemian or cottagecore style particularly well, but honestly a dark floral bead this versatile works in all sorts of projects. Pair them with deep green leaves, small bronze or gold spacers, or soft lilac seed beads and you've got something really striking. A good one to keep in your stash for when you want a focal bead with a bit of drama to it.
