Czech Glass Maple Leaf Beads 13x11, Black Marble & Gold Wash, Set of 10

These Czech glass maple leaf beads are a lovely thing to have in your bead box. Each one is shaped like a maple leaf, about 13x11mm, with a dark black and brown marbled base and warm gold veining that traces the surface just like the real thing. The effect is earthy and a little bit dramatic at the same time, which makes them surprisingly versatile.

You get ten beads per pack, all handcrafted by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic. The gold wash picks up the light nicely, so they work beautifully as earring drops where movement really shows them off. They also sit well on a bracelet alongside amber, tortoiseshell or warm neutral tones, and would make a lovely autumnal focal point on a necklace.

If you like a nature-inspired, slightly rustic look in your jewellery, these are a solid choice. The detail in the veining is genuinely good for a pressed glass bead at this size.
