Laser Etched Czech Rectangle Beads: Matte Red Fern Design (18x12mm)

These are a pair of handmade Czech glass rectangle beads in a deep matte red, each one laser etched with a delicate fern leaf design that catches the light beautifully. The etching has a slightly iridescent quality to it, so the fern motif shifts and shimmers rather than sitting flat, which makes these feel quite special. Because they are handmade, there can be tiny differences between individual beads, but that is part of what makes them so lovely.

At 18x12mm they are a really useful size. A pair works perfectly as earring drops, and a single bead makes a striking focal or feature bead on a bracelet or necklace. They are not easy to come by in the UK, so if the design appeals to you, they are worth snapping up. The matte red pairs well with copper, antique bronze, and warm gold findings, and sits beautifully alongside natural stone or wooden beads if you are going for a more earthy, botanical feel.
