Sold by the strand. Natural variations in finish and tone are to be expected.
These 20x8mm Czech glass rhombus beads feature a transparent khaki base layered with both AB and silver mercury finishes. The AB coating adds subtle flashes of iridescent color, while the silver mercury finish creates a reflective, metallic effect that settles into the surface and highlights the angular rhombus shape.
The mercury finish does not contain actual mercury; it is created using silver. Because silver naturally oxidizes, the metallic surface may darken or develop character over time depending on environmental conditions. Many designers appreciate this evolving patina as part of the bead’s vintage appeal.
Czech pressed glass beads are known for their precision molds and layered finishes, carrying forward centuries of craftsmanship from Czechia. The elongated rhombus shape and side-drilled orientation make these beads ideal for geometric statement earrings, bold necklace segments, and structured bracelet designs. Khaki tones evoke earthiness and balance, while the metallic finishes add sophistication and movement.
Warning: Not intended for use by children. Small parts may pose a choking hazard.
