Czech Glass Kiwi Beads: Aqua Blue Starburst, 14x11mm, Pack of 6

These are Czech glass kiwi beads in a really lovely aqua blue, and the colour is not quite as simple as it first looks. The AB finish brings in soft hints of pink and yellow depending on the light, and at the centre of each oval bead sits a pressed starburst design that gives them a real focal-point quality. Each bead measures 14x11mm, so they are a satisfying size without being overwhelming.

You get six beads per pack, which is just right for a pair of statement earrings with a few left over, or for spacing along a bracelet where you want something a little more interesting than a plain round bead. They are handmade by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, so there may be tiny variations between beads, which is part of what makes them feel special rather than mass-produced.

They pair well with complementary seed beads in teal or pale pink, and would sit beautifully alongside other AB-finish Czech glass pieces.
