These Preciosa Ornela Czech glass bay leaf beads in Green AB measure 6x12mm and bring a botanical silhouette to your work — a pressed glass leaf shape with an iridescent AB coating that earns its place in nature-inspired and statement designs alike.

The Aurora Borealis coating lays a shifting, rainbow-edged sheen over the green base, so the color reads differently depending on the light — earthy one moment, luminous the next.

What to make with them

Their leaf shape makes them naturals for trailing vine-style earrings, floral bead embroidery, and boho fringe work where organic forms carry the design; because the surface coating sits on top of the glass and has medium-low durability, they're best used where friction is minimal — think dangles and focal clusters rather than heavily strung bracelets.

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