Cathedral Czech Glass Bead Lantern 12x10mm Garnet Picasso Crown

These garnet glass 10x12mm lantern cathedral beads from the Czech Republic are the perfect bead if you love to add extra sparkle to your jewellery making designs. They are named after the stained glass windows of churches and were first manufactured in the 1950's. The speckled stone finish which "caps" the bead at either end gives it a tribal earthy feel. The finish is known as "picasso".
