Farfalle — Italian for 'butterfly' — are bow-tie-shaped Czech glass beads, and this 3x7mm yellow silver-lined version brings that distinctive pinched silhouette in a sunny, high-sparkle colorway. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, they catch light differently than any round seed bead, making them a go-to when you want texture and dimension built right into the bead itself.

The transparent yellow glass over a reflective silver core creates a lit-from-within glow — bright and warm on the surface, with a flashy metallic shimmer at the center.

What to make with them

Weave them into peyote or brick stitch as accent beads where the bow-tie shape creates natural ridges and visual rhythm, or string them on their own for a statement piece where the irregular silhouette does all the work. They're also well-suited to fringe and tassel work, where the wider 7mm span catches movement and light with every shift.
