Lilac Czech Glass Flower of Life Beads – Copper Wash, 18mm (Pack of 2)

These are two Czech glass Flower of Life mandala coin beads in a soft opaque thistle lilac, finished with a warm copper wash that brings out the detail in the pressed design beautifully. The combination of the dusty lilac base and the coppery overlay gives them a bohemian, almost vintage feel that works just as well in a simple pair of earrings as it does as a feature bead on a longer necklace.

Each bead is around 18mm across and 4mm thick, with a single central hole, so they sit neatly on a headpin or thread into a design without any fuss. They are handmade by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, so there may be very slight variations between individual beads, which is part of their charm.

They pair nicely with copper-toned metal findings, warm earth-toned seed beads, or other lilac and purple pressed glass. A genuinely lovely focal bead if you are drawn to spiritual or mandala-inspired jewellery making.
