Czech Glass Fluted Melon Beads, 12mm, Set of 6, Black Picasso with Purple Wash

These 12mm fluted melon beads have a lovely weight and texture to them, and the black Picasso finish with its purple wash gives each one a slightly moody, earthy quality that works beautifully in bohemian-style jewellery. Because they are handmade by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, no two beads are completely identical, which only adds to the appeal.

You get six beads per set, which makes them ideal for a matching pair of earrings with a couple of spares, or as repeating accents along a bracelet. They sit particularly well alongside warm metallic tones, deep greens, or other Picasso-finish beads if you like a layered, textured look. The fluted ridges catch the light in a gentle way without being flashy, so they suit understated designs just as much as bolder statement pieces. A really versatile little bead to have in your collection.
