Czech Glass Flower Beads, Deep Pink AB (16mm, Pack of 4)

These are four 16mm six-petal flower beads in a deep pink with an AB lustre finish. That iridescent shimmer shifts the colour subtly depending on the light, giving them a little more life than a flat opaque bead would have. They are a decent size at 16mm, so they work beautifully as a focal point in a pair of earrings or dotted along a bracelet where you want a bit of floral interest without being too fussy about it. The pink sits somewhere between a true deep pink and a soft lilac depending on the angle, which makes them surprisingly versatile to pair with. They suit boho-style designs well, but they are just as happy in something more delicate alongside seed beads or small Czech rounds. Handmade by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, as you would expect from this style of pressed glass bead.
