Czech Glass Elephant Beads: Black with Metallic Pink Wash (23x20mm, Pack of 2)

These are a proper statement bead. Each one is a 23x20mm pressed Czech glass elephant in a deep opaque black, with a metallic pink wash that catches the light and brings out all the lovely surface detail. You get two per pack, which is just right if you are making a pair of earrings or want one for a pendant and one to keep in reserve.

The level of detail in these is really pleasing. The shape is chunky and satisfying without being heavy, so they work well as earring drops or as a focal bead on a necklace or bracelet. They sit beautifully alongside other bohemian Czech glass, particularly anything in black, rose gold, or deep jewel tones.

They are made by artisanal glassworkers in the Czech Republic, and the quality shows. If you like something a little different and full of character, these are a lovely choice.
