These Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beech leaf beads measure 7x11mm and bring a naturalistic silhouette to your work — a pressed glass leaf shape made in Bohemia, Czechia, with the craftsmanship that region is known for.

The Travertine finish is a surface coating that shifts the color, sheen, or texture of the glass, landing this bead in warm browns, tans, and golds with a mixed opacity that gives it an earthy, layered look — keep in mind the coating sits on the surface and can wear with friction over time.

What to make with them

The leaf shape works beautifully as a focal or drop element in earrings and pendant designs, and pairs well with vine- or botanical-themed bead embroidery where you want a dimensional, organic accent. They're also a strong choice for Art Deco-influenced jewelry where warm, stone-like tones carry the palette.

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