Czech Glass Hibiscus Flower Beads: Etched Grey with Copper Wash (12mm, Pack of 4)

These are such a lovely little find. Each bead is a 12mm pressed glass hibiscus flower, made by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, and you get four in a pack. The finish is what makes them special - a soft etched sea-glass grey with a copper wash over the top, giving them that warm, vintage, slightly rustic quality that works beautifully in bohemian and nature-inspired designs.

They are light enough to use in earrings without any discomfort, and the 12mm size sits really nicely as a detail bead on a bracelet or layered necklace. The copper tone pairs well with warm earth shades, burnt orange, terracotta and deep greens, though they also look lovely mixed with other muted Czech glass beads if you are going for a more eclectic feel.

Because they are handmade, there may be small variations between individual beads, which only adds to their handcrafted charm.
