Czech Glass Square Beads: Picasso Turquoise Starburst Design (10mm, Set of 5)

These 10mm table cut square beads have a lovely rustic quality to them. The base is a clear Picasso glass with a turquoise wash worked through it, and the starburst design gives each bead a real depth and character. Because they are handmade by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, you may notice small variations between beads, which is part of what makes them so appealing.

You get five beads per set, which is a nice amount for a pair of earrings with a spare, or for spacing along a bracelet or necklace. They work beautifully as a focal point alongside simpler seed beads or rondelles, and the earthy Picasso tones sit well with other naturalistic or boho colour palettes. If you enjoy that slightly weathered, artisan look in your jewellery making, these are a very satisfying bead to work with.
