Czech Glass Fluted Melon Beads - Lilac with Gold Wash (6mm, Pack of 25)

These 6mm fluted melon beads are a lovely little find. The soft lilac glass has a gentle gold wash over it, which catches the light and gives each bead a warmth you don't always get with smaller sizes. The ribbed melon shape adds just enough texture to make them interesting without overpowering whatever you're making.

You get 25 beads in a pack, which is a decent amount to work with. They're the kind of bead that earns its place in a project rather than stealing the show. Think delicate drop earrings where the gold wash picks up a metal finding, or strung along a bracelet between larger focal beads to give the design some breathing room. They'd also sit beautifully in beadwork embroidery if that's your thing.

The colour sits somewhere between lilac and mauve depending on the light, so they work well with purples, soft pinks, and warm golds. Handcrafted in the Czech Republic by artisan glassworkers.
