These Preciosa Ornela Czech glass bay leaf beads in Topaz AB measure 6x12mm and bring a naturalistic, botanical silhouette to your work — the kind of shape that reads as intentional rather than incidental.
Topaz glass gives you a warm amber-brown transparency, and the AB coating layers an iridescent surface sheen over that — shifting subtly with the light rather than sitting flat.

What to make with them
The leaf shape is a natural fit for earrings, where a single bead or a cascading cluster can stand on its own as a statement; they also work well stitched into freeform peyote or woven into botanical-themed necklaces alongside other organic shapes. Handle with some care in high-friction settings — the AB coating is surface-applied and rates medium-low for durability.
The finish on these beads is delicate. Avoid prolonged exposure to friction, moisture, skin acids, and harsh chemicals to preserve the surface coating.
