Czech Glass Oval Beads, 7x9mm, Set of Ten (10) | Jet Black with Silver Dots

These are lovely little things. Each bead is a 7x9mm pressed Czech glass oval in a deep, glossy jet black, dotted with silver spots that catch the light beautifully. The finish is smooth and high-shine, so they have a real richness to them despite their small size.

The hole runs through the middle of the edge, point to point, which is the classic beetle-bead style. It gives you a nice flat face sitting forward when you string them, which works especially well for earrings or as neat spacers along a bracelet.

You get ten beads per set, all handcrafted by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic. They are a versatile size - small enough to use as spacers between larger focal beads, but eye-catching enough to hold their own in a simple design. They pair nicely with silver findings, clear crystal beads, or anything where you want a bit of dramatic contrast.
