Czech Glass Sunflower Beads: Matte Emerald Green Gold Wash (12mm, Set of 6)

These are a lovely set of six 12mm Czech glass sunflower beads in a rich matte emerald green, finished with a delicate gold wash that picks out all the embossed petal detail beautifully. The matte surface gives them a slightly vintage, art deco feel, and the gold adds just enough warmth to stop them reading as plain green. They sit somewhere between understated and eye-catching, which makes them quite versatile.

Because they are 12mm, they work really well as earring drops, either on their own or paired with a small leaf bead below. You could also use them as feature beads along a bracelet or necklace, spaced between simpler glass rounds or seed beads to let them breathe a little. They pair especially well with warm golds, antique bronzes, and other earthy tones, though they also hold their own against cream or ivory.

Each bead is handcrafted by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, so there may be very slight variations between individual beads, which is part of the charm.
