These Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beech leaf beads measure 7x11mm and arrive in a two-tone yellow and red colorway that reads bold and graphic right out of the bag. The leaf shape gives you a ready-made botanical motif without any extra work.
A surface coating shifts the color and sheen across each bead, so the yellow and red play off each other with a little extra dimension — keep in mind that coated finishes sit on the surface and can wear with friction over time, so they're best suited for lower-abrasion designs.

What to make with them
String them along a necklace or earring drop for instant botanical flair, or cluster several together in bead embroidery to build out a leafy, textural canopy. They're also a natural fit for festival or statement jewelry where that two-tone contrast can really carry the design.
The finish on these beads is delicate. Avoid prolonged exposure to friction, moisture, skin acids, and harsh chemicals to preserve the surface coating.
