Purple Czech Glass Maple Leaf Beads 13x11mm: Bohemian Jewellery Making (10 pc)

These are a lovely little find if you love a nature-inspired bead. Each one is a pressed Czech glass maple leaf, about 13x11mm, in a deep purple with a softer purple wash over the top that gives the colour real depth. The veining detail catches the light nicely, so they look far more interesting than a plain flat bead.

You get ten beads in a pack, which is a generous amount to play with. They work beautifully as earring drops, either on their own or mixed with a few smaller beads to build up a dangle. On a bracelet they sit flat and neat, and because the colour is rich without being garish, they pair well with silver findings or warm gold tones. If you like to mix textures, they also sit nicely alongside faceted rounds or simple rondelles.

Made by artisan glassworkers in the Czech Republic, as you'd expect from this style of pressed glass bead.
