These Preciosa Ornela Czech glass mint leaf beads in 10x8mm bring a botanical silhouette to your work — the leaf shape reads as instantly natural, and the emerald-with-copper finish gives them a richness that plain green glass can't match.

A surface coating layers copper over the emerald glass, shifting the color depending on the light — expect a warm, slightly metallic depth rather than a flat green.

What to make with them

The leaf form works beautifully as a focal accent in earrings, where the shape can dangle and catch light, or as a repeating motif in nature-themed necklaces and bracelets — just keep in mind the medium-low durability rating means they're better suited to low-friction designs than heavily worked stringing projects.

The finish on these beads is delicate. Avoid prolonged exposure to friction, moisture, skin acids, and harsh chemicals to preserve the surface coating.
