Czech Glass Saturn Beads 8x10mm, Sapphire Blue Picasso Finish, Set of 8, Jewellery Making

These are Czech glass Saturn beads in a rich sapphire blue, each one measuring 8x10mm and finished with a Picasso coating that adds a lovely earthy, rustic edge to the deep blue base. The Picasso finish means each bead has its own subtle variation in colour and texture, so nothing looks too uniform or overly polished. That is a big part of their charm.

The Saturn or saucer shape sits beautifully as a feature bead in a pair of earrings, where the flat, ringed profile really catches the light. They also work well strung along a bracelet, mixing in with rounds or faceted beads to add a bit of shape and interest. You get eight beads in a set, which gives you a decent amount to play with across a couple of projects.

Handmade by artisanal glassworkers in the Czech Republic, so you can expect a good level of quality and that characteristic bohemian character that Czech glass is known for.
