Czech Glass Hibiscus Flower Bead: Turquoise Sea Green, Gold Wash, 21mm

This is a single Czech glass hibiscus flower bead in a beautiful turquoise sea green with a warm gold wash over the surface. It is table cut, which gives it a lovely flat profile and lets the detail of the petals really show up, and at 21mm it has a proper presence on a piece.

Because these are handmade by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, no two beads are identical, so there will be small natural variations in the colour and finish. That is part of what makes them special rather than something to worry about.

You could use this as a focal bead on a necklace, suspend it as a pendant on its own, or pair it with smaller turquoise or gold-toned beads for a bracelet with a bit of a tropical feel. It works just as well in a simple earring design where you want one statement piece to do all the talking. A really versatile bead if you love colour and texture.
