Flower Rose Beads
(also known as "flowers under glass")

These handmade Czech beads are some of the most popular beads in the store.  There is a core bead which is a dominant color with points of green and pink in the center to look like one or more roses.  Around this core bead is a polished layer of clear glass.  This clear glass gives the bead a very 3-dimensional, very mystical depth.

The colors from batch to batch vary widely, especially the purple (lavender to dark purple), the pink (very pink to very similar to the rose color), and the aqua (clearly aqua to mint green).   The purple is usually dark purple.   The pink and aqua are very variable.

There are some copies of these beads
in our East Indian Glass Bead alcove (See Rose Beads);
however, there is a great deal of difference in the craftsmanship.
