Czech Glass Marquise Beads: Hyacinth Blue with Copper Wash (20x9mm, Pack of 4)

These are big, beautiful beads, and they really do catch the light. The marquise shape, sometimes called a spindle or boat shape, tapers elegantly to a point at each end, and at 20x9mm these are a generous size that holds its own as a focal or feature bead. The hyacinth blue is a warm, slightly amber-tinted blue, and the copper wash over the top gives it an almost antique, burnished quality that you don't often find.

The hole runs top to bottom through the middle, which makes them particularly nice for earrings, letting the bead hang with that lovely pointed drop. They work just as well strung on a bracelet or necklace, and pair beautifully with smaller copper or bronze-toned beads if you want to echo that warm metallic finish.

You receive four beads per pack. They are made by artisanal glassworkers in the Czech Republic.
