Czech Glass Rondelle Beads: Gold Luster Etched AB Finish, 6x9mm Strand of 25

These 6x9mm Czech glass rondelle beads have a lovely combination of finishes going on. The faceted, fire polished surface catches the light nicely on its own, but the etched AB coating softens that sparkle into something a little more muted and vintage in character, while the gold luster gives the whole bead a warm, almost antique glow. They sit somewhere between rustic and elegant, which makes them genuinely versatile.

You get 25 beads on a strand, and they work beautifully strung together on a bracelet or necklace, mixed in with other bohemian-style beads, or used as spacers between larger feature beads. They are a good size for earrings too, light enough to wear comfortably. Because these are handmade in the Czech Republic, you may notice slight variations in size and colour from bead to bead. That is just the nature of hand-crafted glass, and it tends to add rather than detract.
