Laser Etched Marilyn Monroe Czech Glass Beads: Deep Blue, 18x12mm

These are two Czech glass rectangle beads in a deep, rich blue, each one carrying a laser etched Marilyn Monroe portrait that gives them a bold, pop-art feel. The etched design sits beautifully against the iridescent finish, catching the light in a way that makes them hard to ignore. Because they are handmade, there can be tiny differences between individual beads, which is all part of their character.

At 18x12mm they are a generous size, substantial enough to carry a design like this without it feeling cluttered. They work really well as a pair of earring drops, or you could use one as a statement focal bead on a necklace or bracelet. They are a fairly rare UK import, so not something you will find everywhere. If you love bold, graphic jewellery that sparks a conversation, these are the sort of bead worth keeping in your collection. Made by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic.
