These Preciosa Ornela Czech glass Mint Leaf beads in Garnet AB with Gold measure 10x8mm and bring a rich, botanical shape to your work — a pressed glass leaf that reads as both vintage and fresh depending on how you use it.

The Garnet AB with Gold finish layers an aurora borealis iridescence and a warm gold coating over deep garnet glass, so the surface shifts between wine-red, burnished gold, and prismatic flash depending on the light.

What to make with them

String them along vine-inspired necklaces and earrings where the leaf shape does the design work for you, or scatter them through beaded fringe and charm clusters for a cottagecore or romantic statement piece. Keep in mind the coated finish has medium-low durability, so settings that minimize bead-on-bead friction — like head-pinned drops or spaced stringing — will help the surface last.

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