Czech Glass Mermaid Beads: Opaque Bright Red Picasso with Bronze Wash (2, 25x5mm)

These are a real find. Czech glass mermaid beads in a bold, opaque red Picasso finish with a warm bronze wash worked over the surface, giving each bead that slightly aged, artisan quality that's so hard to come by. They measure 25x5mm, so they have a lovely long, slender shape that sits beautifully as a drop earring or a pendant focal.

You get two beads per pack, and at that size they really do make a statement on their own. Pair them with simple seed beads or small bronze spacers and let the bead do the talking. They'd also work well threaded onto a headpin for a quick, striking earring.

Mermaid beads in this bright red Picasso colourway are genuinely difficult to source in the UK. These are handcrafted by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, and the Picasso finish means no two are quite identical, which is part of what makes them special.
