Czech Glass Flower Beads 8mm, Bright Orange with a Copper Wash, Set of 10

These are lovely little things. Each bead is an 8mm table cut Hawaiian flower in a warm, vivid orange with a copper wash worked into the surface, giving them that slightly earthy, sun-baked feel that works so well in bohemian-style jewellery. The table cut finish catches the light beautifully, and the copper tones stop the orange from feeling too flat or uniform, so each bead has a bit of character to it.

You get ten beads in a set, which is just right for a pair of earrings with a few left over, or for dotting through a bracelet alongside other warm-toned pieces. They sit really nicely next to deep greens, terracotta, gold and brown tones, though they hold their own against neutrals too.

Made by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, these are the kind of bead that makes a finished piece look far more considered than the effort involved. A proper little workhorse for your jewellery making.
