Czech Glass Hibiscus Flower Bead, Deep Red with Antique Silver Finish (21mm)

This is a single Czech glass hibiscus flower bead in a rich, deep ruby red with an antique silver Picasso finish. It measures approximately 21mm across, so it has a real presence on the strand, and the table cut surface catches the light beautifully, giving it a slightly textured, artisan quality rather than a plain pressed look.

The Picasso finish adds warmth and a little age to the red, softening it into something that feels genuinely bohemian rather than bright and shiny. It works wonderfully as a focal bead on a necklace, or as the centrepiece of a pair of statement earrings. You could pair it with antique brass or bronze findings, or balance it alongside neutral creams and browns for an earthy, botanical feel.

Because these beads are handmade by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, each one varies very slightly, which is part of what makes them special.
