Snail Shell Swirl 13mm Tortoise Shell Czech Glass Bead

Snail Shell Swirl 13mm Tortoise Shell Czech Glass Bead. This snail shaped faux tortoise shell bead, also known as a "cinnamon bun bead" has a beautiful decorative element which gives it a vintage feel. Tortoise shell beads are a blended mix of transparent topaz and black. Every bead is unique. The beads are produced in moulds which allows for more complex shapes and a uniform size and hole.

With the first global economy, exploration and colonisation brought home the skins of leopards, tigers, and zebras, and these exotic patterns were soon reproduced on fabrics. Two centuries later, sex symbols like Lauren Bacall and Marilyn Monroe harnessed the prints' magnetism.

Animal prints function like neutrals—they're made up of brown, beige, and black—making them seasonless and wearable with almost anything. The print also adds a little edge to your wardrobe. Incorporate them in small doses and make your own animal print jewellery.
