Czech Glass Lentil Beads 14mm: Clear Purple Marble, Set of 8

These are 14mm Czech glass lentil beads in a beautiful clear purple marble colourway, sold in a set of eight. The lentil shape, sometimes called a puffed coin, is nicely versatile. It sits flat and neat on a bracelet, hangs beautifully as an earring drop, and works just as well strung into a longer necklace alongside other beads.

The marble effect gives each bead a little character of its own. The purple has real depth to it, somewhere between amethyst and violet, with the clarity of the glass letting the colour shift slightly depending on the light. They are smooth and well finished, as you would expect from Czech glass, made by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic.

They pair nicely with silver findings, seed beads in a complementary lilac or clear crystal, or even a contrast of copper or gold if you want something a bit bolder. A genuinely pretty bead, and a useful size to have in your collection.
