Czech Glass Melon Beads: Matte Indigo Blue with Brown Wash (5mm, Pack of 25)

These are 5mm Czech glass melon beads in a beautiful matte indigo blue, finished with a soft brown wash that settles into the ridges and gives each bead a wonderfully rustic, earthy quality. The fluted shape catches the light gently, and the matte surface keeps things grounded rather than flashy, which makes them really easy to work with alongside other beads.

You get 25 beads in a pack, so there is plenty to play with. They are a lovely size for earrings, where a small cluster can look really effective, and they work just as well strung through a bracelet or used as spacers between larger focal beads. The brown wash means they sit naturally next to naturals, coppers, and terracottas, but the indigo base gives them enough depth to hold their own in a bolder colour way too.

Made by artisanal glassworkers in the Czech Republic, as you would expect from beads of this quality.
