Czech Glass Sun Coin Bead: Turquoise Picasso with Gold Wash (22mm)

This is a single large 22mm Czech glass coin bead with a sun motif cut into the surface using the table cut technique. The base colour is a rich turquoise Picasso finish, which gives it that earthy, slightly rustic look you get with genuine Czech glass, and the gold wash settles into the recesses of the design to make the sun detail really stand out.

At 22mm it is a proper focal bead, the kind that anchors a whole piece. It works beautifully as a pendant on its own, or as the centrepiece of a longer bohemian necklace with smaller complementary beads either side. The turquoise and gold combination has a natural, almost vintage feel that sits well with warm amber tones, earthy browns, and deep teals.

These are handmade by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, so there may be small variations between individual beads, which is all part of the charm. You are buying one bead.
